1. #c80815

   

   Venetian Red Color

   Venetian red was an iron-oxide earth pigment, and Cennino Cennini told painters to mix it two to one with lime white for faces and hands. Wikipedia’s #c80815 is far more vivid than that earth, a strong blood red, so Venetian Red color on a screen and in a paint tube differ a lot.
