incarnadine
[in-kahr-nuh-dahyn]
adjective
red; crimson
Explanation
A sunset can paint the sky, turning it a dramatic incarnadine shade. You might also find this color in the jewel-like seeds of a ripe pomegranate, the velvet folds of a theater curtain, or the bright plumage of a cardinal. Wherever you see an incarnadine hue, it's bound to be a showstopper.
