What is Crimson Color?<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Crimson is a rich, deep shade of pure red. But it’s actually closer to purple on the color wheel.\u00a0 Although not quite <\/span>magenta<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>soft red<\/span><\/a>, it’s somewhere in between, with a touch of blue. Crimson and burgundy are comparable and often mistaken, but not quite the same. Burgundy is usually considered the color of red wine, while crimson is more commonly associated with the color of blood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crimson originally refers to the color of kermes dye produced by the kermes vermilio insect. The dye was used by ancient Romans and Greeks to color fabrics. The origin of the word crimson comes from the Persian word qirmiz (meaning red) which then became the English insect kermes. The pronunciation and spelling of the kermes dye, fabric, and color ultimately changed over time, becoming crimson as we know it today. <\/span><\/p>\n

By the 14th century, crimson became a common word for the color red in late Middle English. <\/span><\/p>\n
