What is the meaning of the color Bright Red?
Red dye of this intensity was among the most expensive pigments in medieval Europe, produced from kermes insects harvested in the Mediterranean. By the 15th century, Venetian merchants controlled much of the trade, making bright red cloth a reliable signal of wealth and power. Synthetic alizarin, developed by chemists Carl Graebe and Carl Liebermann in 1868, made this depth of red affordable and consistent for the first time. The shade anchors the branding of Coca-Cola, whose specific red has been a registered part of its visual identity since the early 20th century.
