About this color

Kermes — Before there was cochineal dye, there was kermes dye—a brilliant scarlet pigment made from the dried bodies of the Kermes beetle and extremely popular among ancient Egyptians, Romans, Indians, Iranians, and Greeks! Today, Kermes usually refers to the color produced by the dye rather than the dye itself.
