Chili Pepper Color – #ac1e3a: Codes and Complete Breakdown

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.
