Indian Red Color – #850e04: Codes and Complete Breakdown

Indian red takes its name from the iron-oxide-rich laterite soil of India, a pigment so old it colors cave paintings from 40,000 years ago. This dark, brick-blooded version is deeper than the Crayola shade, which was renamed chestnut in 1999. Rembrandt and Michelangelo both sketched with this earth, and the indian red color still grounds any warm palette.
