In the Renaissance, the brilliant red costumes for the rich and nobile were dyed with kermes and cochineal.
My favorite color is red, I love it and try to get everything in red! Neat, how do you feel about the color next to it on the spectrum of light, orange? Or the one opposite it, violet? Not a fan, I rather learn more about red if you know anything. Red was pained on the faces of the Ancient Egyptians and also the Mayans during their ceremonies. I haven't heard that.  Is red the most common color for people to like? I'm really not sure, but even China held it as an important color. They used it to color early pottery. Oh wow! Did any other ancient cultures use red alot?
