It is redder than vermilion. It is a pure chroma on the color wheel one-fourth of the way between red and orange.[1] Scarlet is sometimes used as the color of flame. It may also symbolize the color of the blood of a living person, like crimson, although the actual color of blood (from hemoglobin) is closer to crimson than scarlet.
An early recorded use of scarlet as a color name in the English language dates to 1250.[2]
