Carmine (color)

Carmine color is the general term for some deep red colors that are very slightly purplish but are generally slightly closer to pure red than the color crimson is. Some rubies have the color shown below as rich carmine. The deep dark red color shown at right as carmine is the color of the raw unprocessed pigment, but lighter, richer, or brighter colors are produced when the raw pigment is processed, some of which are shown below.
