I had originally titled this ‘Crimson’, but realized that it was a misnomer. Crimson is a red with a bluish tint to it. Vermilion is an orangish red pigment. Part of one of my previous jobs was to come up with colour names. It’s harder than you think to come up with descriptive names for colours on a regular basis.
