   Chili Pepper Color

   The carotenoid capsanthin turns ripe chilies this deep blood red, and their heat rides the Scoville scale that pharmacist Wilbur Scoville devised in 1912 at Parke-Davis. Chili Pepper color carries a cool blue undertone that keeps it off tomato-red. An accent wall commands attention here.

2. #db1d27

   

   Red Hot Chili Pepper Color

   No paint maker or Pantone listing turned up under this exact name, so the hex has to carry it. Red Hot Chili Pepper color (#db1d27) is a bright, slightly cool red almost identical to CSS crimson (#dc143c). It’s the red of a ripe Fresno chili, and it stays loud even in a dim room.

   Chili Green Color

   Chili Green is a muted olive brown, red at 141 over green at 112. It looks more like a dried poblano, known as an ancho, than a fresh green chili. Warm light makes it bronze.
