red robe
Scarlet liturgical vestment
Red robe refers to a garment worn by figures of authority or ceremony—judges, cardinals, academics in formal procession.
The color red historically signified power, wealth, and high office.
In some contexts, red robe specifically denotes a senior judge or cardinal: The red robes filed into the cathedral.
Red Robe is also a prized variety of oolong tea from China's Wuyi Mountains, named for a legend about a scholar's grateful gift.
