 scarlet
      adj : having any of numerous bright or strong colors reminiscent
            of the color of blood or cherries or tomatoes or rubies

      n : a variable color that is vivid red but sometimes with an

 Scarlet
    This dye was obtained by the Egyptians from the shell-fish
    Carthamus tinctorius; and by the Hebrews from the Coccus ilicis,
    an insect which infests oak trees, called kermes by the
    Arabians.
      This colour was early known (Gen. 38:28). It was one of the
    colours of the ephod (Ex. 28:6), the girdle (8), and the
    breastplate (15) of the high priest. It is also mentioned in
    various other connections (Josh. 2:18; 2 Sam. 1:24; Lam. 4:5;
    Nahum 2:3). A scarlet robe was in mockery placed on our Lord
    (Matt. 27:28; Luke 23:11). "Sins as scarlet" (Isa. 1:18), i.e.,
    as scarlet robes "glaring and habitual." Scarlet and crimson
    were the firmest of dyes, and thus not easily washed out.
