Venetian red

Venetian red is a color name that refers to a range of shades of red, usually with a warm and light tone.

The color is named after the city of Venice, where it was historically used as a pigment for painting and dyeing.

Venetian red is also associated with the British army, who wore red uniforms from the 17th to the 19th century.

Modern versions of Venetian red are usually made from synthetic iron oxide, which is produced by heating green vitriol, a type of iron sulfate.

Synthetic iron oxide has a more uniform and intense color than natural hematite, and can also be mixed with other pigments to create different shades of red.

Synthetic iron oxide is widely used as a coloring agent for paints, plastics, cosmetics, and other products.
