Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Crimson Color 223 - #DC143C
Crimson is a strong, bright, deep red color. It originally meant the color of
the Kermes dye produced from a scale insect, Kermes vermilio, but the name is
now also used as a generic term for slightly reddish-blue colors that are
between red and rose; besides crimson itself, these colors include carmine,
raspberry, ruddy, ruby, amaranth, cardinal, and cerise.
