Crimson - one of the brightest shades of red. If you decompose it into components, it turns out, according to one version, red plus blue. According to another, yellow is added to red. In ancient times, the necessary dye was obtained from insects Kermes vermilio, living on oaks, and called it, respectively, Kermes. In the Middle Ages it was widely used for dyeing silk. Crimson was especially popular in Sicily. And the most interesting legend associated with it goes back to deep antiquity. It is believed that the Inca rulers, who lived in the territory of pre-Columbian Peru, had special attributes of power - crimson cords. They were tied with knots, one for each year of government.
