poppy red

Bright flower hue

Poppy red is a vivid, orangish red resembling the petals of the common poppy flower.

The color sits between true red and vermilion, bright and attention-grabbing: a poppy red lipstick, poppy red accents on a white dress.

It suggests boldness without the depth of darker reds.
