History : The vermilion is a warm, bright colour that draws very slightly on the orange. Normal, its name comes directly from «vermeil» which designates a bright red.
This red was commonly used in ancient China. The pigment was derived from cinnabar – mercury sulphide – abandoned because it was highly toxic to a synthetic red discovered in the Middle Ages. It becomes one of the palette of medieval painters alongside gold and Ultramarine blue.
We are struck by the freshness and sparkle that evokes this red.
It is a greedy, opulent and frank colour that speaks of rich red fabrics, poppies, strawberries, ladybugs or pomegranate syrup !
