ruby red

Deep jewel crimson

Ruby red describes a deep, vivid red with slightly purplish undertones—the color of the gemstone.

It suggests richness and intensity beyond ordinary red: ruby red lips, ruby red wine.

The phrase often appears in product names and descriptions where a luxurious or jewel-like quality is implied: She painted her nails ruby red.
