lost words: medieval words for the color red

Courtesy of the incredible historian Rosalie Gilbert's blog post, here is a list of words used in the medieval ages to describe the color red, specifically in the context of dyes.

As an interesting side note, scarlet referred to both a type of fabric and to the color we know it as today. This apparently caused some confusion for people at the time as well!
