Sometimes glamorous, sometimes sexy and dangerous, carmine red is a color that does not go unnoticed !

A natural color

Obtained from the female of an insect, the cochineal, carmine red, like crimson red and vermeil, has been used since ancient times to color textiles or leathers. It’s also found in beauty products like lipstick and varnish and, of course, in art.

It takes its name from the carminic acid found in the eggs produced by the female cochineal. This insect lives in cacti now cultivated in South America, mainly in Peru. If carmine red is very present in Aztec culture, it is also famous in ancient Egypt and then in Europe from the 16th century.

A deep red

Sometimes synonymous of love, sensuality and passion, this shade also represents anger, danger or prohibition. Whatever its meaning, red expresses strong emotion, and depth.
