Saffron is a vivid shade of yellow or orange, derived from the tip of the saffron crocus thread, which is also a valuable spice.

Saffron's color is mainly due to the carotenoid chemical crocin, which gives it a slightly bitter taste.

Saffron has different variations, such as rajah, deep saffron, and India saffron, which have different hex codes and color coordinates.

Saffron is also a sacred color in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, representing spirit, sacrifice, and renunciation.

Saffron is one of the three colors of the Indian flag, symbolizing courage and sacrifice.

Saffron is a bright and warm color that can evoke feelings of joy, optimism, and energy.
