    About Scarlet

    Scarlet is a bright, vivid red with a slight orange undertone. It's one of the most eye-catching reds, sitting between pure red and vermilion.

    Scarlet dye was made from the kermes beetle and later from cochineal insects. Roman generals wore scarlet cloaks. The color became linked to sin and passion in literature, like in 'The Scarlet Letter'.

    Scarlet is perfect for anything that needs to stand out fast - sale signs, emergency alerts, and sports cars. Fashion designers use it for statement pieces. It's too intense for large areas but perfect for accents.
