It can be dicey. I have this angora sweater. It's not "red" and it's not bright pink or cerise, which had more violet tones I think. I like using this site for naming colors. https://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/#EC3649 And the closest match I find is "Amaranth." My brain tells me amaranth is a short-lived perennial and I suppose the flower could be this color, but somehow I don't see anyone searching "amaranth". Looking around more I see I can use "crimson" and that seems to describe it. Anyway, I just wanted to share this fun site for naming colors.
Interesting - people see different colors too - depending on their monitors and how they see colors. I was just wondering what word to use as a keyword - a shade of red.
I see the "orange" that Maggie sees - and think the amaranth is a bit too "blue". I see the color of a red/orange Crayon: . . Not exact but "close" - !!! Of course it may look different in person and on different people's monitors!
there was a time when an orangish red was also referred to as Chinese red, but agree, persimmon or coral would work!
Red is apparently very hard to capture correctly. Because 'science' or something to do with lightwaves.
I vote for persimmon as well but on your color chart, coral red looks accurate. (love the chart, so fun!)
I think people searching might type in coral, salmon, berry, pink or orange, and you may want to include as many as possible if you're using tags?
I've just had a poke around that site. It's really clever! There's some odd colour names though that definitely aren't good keywords - Inch Worm? But it's a really fun little site.
