Scarlet (from the Persian saqerlât) is a bright red color with a hue that
is somewhat toward orange and is redder than vermilion. It is a pure chroma on
the color wheel one-fourth of the way between red and orange. Scarlet is
traditionally the color of flame, or fire. It may also symbolize the color of
the blood of a living person, like crimson, although the actual color of blood
(from hemoglobin) is closer to crimson than scarlet. An early recorded use of
scarlet as a color name in the English language dates to 1250.
Displayed at left is the web color firebrick, a medium dark shade of
