Description
Scarlet (from the Persian ÓÞÑáÇÊ saqerlât; see Scarlet (cloth)) is a bright reddish orange color with a hue that is somewhat toward the orange and is redder than vermilion. It is a pure chroma on the color wheel one-fourth of the way between red and orange.[2] Scarlet is traditionally the color of flame, or fire. 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.Torch red Scarlet (Crayola):
This is the color now called scarlet in Crayola crayons. It was originally formulated as torch red in 1998 and then renamed scarlet by Crayola in 2000.
Scarlet in human culture
Academic dress
Scarlet is the color worn in traditional academic dress in the United Kingdom for those awarded doctorates.
It is also the color of many of the undergraduate gowns worn by students of the ancient universities of Scotland.
In academic dress in the USA, scarlet is used for hood bindings (that is, borders) and, depending on the university or school, other parts of the dress (velvet chevrons, facings, etc.) to denote a degree in some form or branch of Theology (e.g., Sacred Theology, Canon Law, Divinity, Ministry).
In the French academic dress system, the five traditional fields of study (Arts, Science, Medicine, Law and Divinity) are each symbolized by a distinctive color, which appears in the academic dress of the people who graduated in this field. Scarlet is the distinctive color for Law. As such, it is also the color worn on their court dress by French high magistrates.
Board games
Miss Scarlet is a character in the board game Cluedo (U.S.: Clue), originally by Waddington Games. In the UK, her name is spelled "Miss Scarlett".
