Crimson
Ivy League team
Crimson is a deep, vivid red with slight blue undertones—darker and richer than scarlet.
The word often suggests blood or strong emotion: Her face flushed crimson with embarrassment.
As a verb, to crimson is to turn that color: His cheeks crimsoned.
Crimson is also Harvard University's official color and athletic teams.
