Scarletis a bright red color,[1][2] sometimes with a slightly orange tinge.[3] In the spectrum of visible light, and on the traditional color wheel, it is one-quarter of the way between red and orange, slightly less orange than vermilion.[4]

According to surveys in Europe and the United States, scarlet and other bright shades of red are the colors most associated with courage, force, passion, heat, and joy.[5] In the Roman Catholic Church, scarlet is the color worn by a cardinal, and is associated with the blood of Christ and the Christian martyrs, and with sacrifice.


The word comes from the Middle English "scarlat", from the Old French escarlate, from the Latin "scarlatum",from the Persian سقرلات saqerlt. The term scarlet was also used in the Middle Ages for a type of cloth that was often bright red.[6] An early recorded use of scarlet as a color name in the English language dates to 1250.[7]


Scarlet has been a color of power, wealth and luxury since ancient times. Scarlet dyes were first mentioned in 8th century BC, under the name Armenian Red, and they were described in Persian and Assyrian writings. The color was exported from Persia to Rome. During the Roman Empire, it was second in prestige only to the purple worn by the Emperors. Roman officers wore scarlet cloaks called paludamenta,[8] and persons of high rank were referred to as the coccinati, the people of red.[9]


The Latin term for scarlet used in the Bible comes from coccus, a "tiny grain". The finest scarlets in ancient times were made from the tiny scale insect called kermes, which fed on certain oak trees in Turkey, Persia, Armenia and other parts of the Middle East. The insects contained a very strong natural dye, also called kermes, which produced the scarlet color. The insects were so small they were historically thought to be a kind of grain.[10] This was the origin of the expression "dyed in the grain."[11]


The early Christian church adopted many of the symbols of the Roman Empire, including the importance of the color scarlet. The flag of the Crusaders was a scarlet cross on a white background, with scarlet indicating blood and sacrifice. By a church edict in 1295, Cardinals of the church, second in authority to the Pope, wore red robes, but a red closer in color to the purple of the Byzantine Emperors, a color coming from murex, a type of mollusk. After the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453, however, the imperial purple was no longer available, and Cardinals began instead to wear scarlet made from kermes.[12][13]


During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, scarlet was the color worn by Kings, princes and the wealthy, partly because of its color and partly because of its high price. The exact shade, which varied widely, was not as important as the brilliance and richness of the color. The finest scarlet, called scarlatto or Venetian scarlet, came from Venice, where it was made from kermes by a specific guild which closely guarded the formula. Cloth dyed scarlet cost as much as ten times more than cloth dyed with blue.[14]


Scarlet was the traditional color of the British nobility in the 17th and 18th century. The members of the House of Lords wore red ceremonial gowns for the opening of Parliament, and today sit on red benches.


The red military uniform was adopted by the English New Model Army in 1645,[16] and was still worn as a dress uniform until the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914. Ordinary soldiers wore red coats dyed with madder, while officers wore scarlet coats dyed with the more expensive cochineal.[17] This led to British soldiers being known as red coats.


From the 8th century until the early 20th century, the most important scarlet pigment used in western art was vermilion, made from the mineral cinnabar. It was used, along with red lake pigments, by artists from Botticelli and Raphael to Renoir. However, in 1919 commercial production began of an intense new synthetic pigment, cadmium red, made from cadmium sulfide and selenium. The new pigment became the standard red of Henri Matisse and the other important painters of the 20th century.


In the 20th century, scarlet also became associated with revolution. Red flags had first been used as revolutionary emblems, symbolizing the blood of martyrs, during the French Revolution and Paris uprisings in 1848. Red became the color of socialism, then communism, and became the color of the flags of both the Soviet Union and Communist China. China still uses a scarlet flag; in Chinese culture red is also the color of happiness. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the flag of Russia consists of red, blue and white, the colors of the historic Russian flag from the time of Peter the Great that were adapted by him from the colors of the flag of the Netherlands.


Scarlet is the color worn in traditional academic dress in the United Kingdom for those awarded doctorates. It is also the color of many of the undergraduate gowns worn by students of the ancient universities of Scotland.


In academic dress in the United States, scarlet is used for hood bindings (borders) and, depending on the university or school, other parts of the dress (velvet chevrons, facings, etc.) to denote a degree in some form or branch of Theology (e.g., Sacred Theology, Canon Law, Divinity, Ministry).


In the French academic dress system, the five traditional fields of study (Arts, Science, Medicine, Law and Divinity) are each symbolized by a distinctive color, which appears in the academic dress of the people who graduated in this field. Scarlet is the distinctive color for Law. As such, it is also the color worn on their court dress by French high magistrates.


In countries that have traditionally been dominated by Christian ideas, scarlet is associated with prostitution. The Book of Revelation refers to the Whore of Babylon riding upon a "scarlet beast" and dressed in purple and scarlet.[21] The phrase Great Scarlet Whore has been used by Puritans in the 17th century, and the phrase The Scarlet Woman was used by many Protestants and later Mormons in North America well into the 20th century.[22][23][24] Scarlet and crimson are also linked to the Judeo-Christian concept of sin in the Book of Isaiah, rendered in the King James Version "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."[25]


The connection of red or scarlet with prostitution was very common in Europe and America. Prostitutes were obliged to wear red in some European cities, and even today areas in European cities where prostitutes can work legally are known as red-light districts. Sex worker advocacy groups like the Scarlet Alliance use the striking color to associate themselves with prostitution.


This is a variation on the standard RGB or Hex combination that produces a truer Scarlet color on some monitors. It is slightly more orange than the standard Scarlet RGB value of 255, 36, 0, but does give a truer color on displays where the red dominates over the orange and would otherwise make the color appear more as a normal red rather than a genuine Scarlet.


The source of this color is the ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Color Names (1955),[27] a color dictionary used by stamp collectors to identify the colors of stamps. A sample of the color "Flame" (color sample #34) is also displayed in the Dictionary online version.[28]


I got all the Ultra Beasts from Pokemon Shield, and yet, THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO BE USED IN SCARLET AND VIOLET, SAID POKEMON HOME!!! Why don't Game Freak just do a Tera Raid event where Ultra Beasts show up in 5-star Tera Raids, just so I could have an excuse to use Pheromosa in a Scarlet and Violet Pokemon battle? Support me if you agree, and help convince Game Freak to do Ultra Beast Tera Raids.


two more reasons why they don't simply port every pokemon forward are competitive accessibility and the extra polish that pokemon need in newer games. scarlet and violet gave every pokemon new texturing, and it's a lot of work! doing that for all 1025 pokemon just isn't in the time restraints pokemon operates on nowadays. really, this is the reason behind a lot of complaints people have about modern pokemon - there's just not enough time being given to devs to get them out the door, while management expects bigger and bigger games (and profits).


competitive accessibility was more relevant in sword and shield, where the only pokemon you could use were ones you could catch in sword and shield themselves - so, if you had a copy of the game, you could get all the pokemon you needed to put together a top team. but let's say they did let you transfer ultra beasts to scarlet and violet - and then, oops, one of them is a top tier! suddenly, every VGC player has to go out and pay $85 for a copy of sword and shield and the crown tundra, and then play through the entire game just to catch one pokemon for their team. and if it's a pokemon that's only been able to have a certain move through events, it might just be impossible to get it anymore!


i think this second reason has fallen apart a little in scarlet and violet, though, with them allowing hisuian pokemon and urshifu into the game. calyrex is one of the strongest pokemon in the game, but the only way to catch one is to buy sword or shield and the DLC. personally, i think this is a really bad decision on gamefreak's part, since it just makes it harder for people to get into VGC.


Unfortunately, I think GameFreak is alternating what Pokemon are in games between each game. The legendaries from X and Y aren't in Scarlet and Violet, but were in Sword and Shield. All the starters weren't in Sword and Shield, but are in Scarlet and Violet! I have a shiny Xurkitree I caught sitting in Pokemon Home, and as much as I want him to be able to come to Scarlet, I think I just need to wait until another DLC or the next set of games.


We've had the dexit debacle. And fans proved they'd dutifully buy the games with more than half of them missing and still break sales records. And they'll even buy DLC to get another chunk of them back.
