Created the artwork from a scribble and then was curious as to what colors the brilliant red and orange-red were. Hence this post.
Like Sindoor in India
the art and lacquerware of China……
As powdered mineral cinnabar
or the color of a scale insect
kermes vermilion…………
Between red and rose
a brilliant red or scarlet sky…………
Vermilion Sindoor Kumkum. Yes
The “timeless” time
of the indigenous Australian’s
formative creation
perpetual creation
scarlet crimson…………
Like the widely used
art and decorations of Ancient Rome
the illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages
the paintings of the Renaissance.
Some crimson
strong red color inclining to purple
slightly bluish-red between red and rose.
************
The pigments of Ancient Dreams
perpetual “timeless” time.
Vermilion Sindoor Kumkum! Yes
*************
Say What!? … 🧐
“So what is Verlilion Sindoor KumKum?” Asked Bharath Upendra!
Vermilion is a brilliant red color ……Whereas the Kumkum (also called sindoor in some places) popularly known as roli. is made using turmeric powder and lime stone. … Sindoor or Sindooram is a traditional vermilion red or orange-red coloured cosmetic powder from Indian Subcontinent, usually worn by married women along the part of their hair.

Not just married women, even men have it on their forehead. It’s a cultural and religious expression.
