What color is Poppy?
Poppy is a warm, vivid red-orange with a slightly fiery tone, hex #E35335, close to the color of a fresh poppy petal. It is brighter and more orange than a classic red, with a strong, saturated presence.
What is the meaning of the color Poppy?
The name comes from the common poppy flower, Papaver rhoeas, whose red blooms became a powerful symbol after World War One. The Royal British Legion adopted the red poppy as its official emblem in 1921, drawing on the imagery of poppies growing over the battlefields of Flanders. The association was reinforced by John McCrae’s 1915 poem In Flanders Fields, which linked the flower directly to fallen soldiers. The annual Poppy Appeal, still run by the Royal British Legion, has made this specific red-orange tone one of the most recognizable commemorative colors in the United Kingdom.
