Vermilion is a vivid bright reddish-orange colour. Cinnabar is also known as "vermilion” because the two substances are chemically the same mineral, “mercuric sulphide.” Although the name "cinnabar" refers to the mineral, "vermilion" refers to the pigment. Until the discovery of cadmium red in the early 20th century, vermilion was the universal extensively used robust red pigment.
