UL use of the color Vermilion ( hue study )

[CajunFun]

That is VIVID.

The thing is that Sindoor (powder I guess you call it) is a raw material. When the paint oils are added, it darkens up a bit even when dried.

On a side note I can't find one historical use of the color Vermilion that is a consistent shade through and through. So for me Vermilion is a range of hues and is not tied down to a single shade or number.

Sure, that's the point I usually try to make... all colors are a range.

But the U needs to defind a color number. Since vermilion is unique to UL, I just want us to define a unique color. Hence my suggested definition, in between red and orange, but neither.

By adding a small dab of black to it, as in your photo of the swamp a few posts up, it gives the color some weight.

The Catholic cardinals wear Vermillion. And that's as historical as you can get. So the material is not hard to get.
