[Color] Scarlet Lake “A warm color in the cold sky”

“A warm color in the cold sky”
It is a vivid and cute color.
At first, I felt it was a deep red,
but it is more than that; it is also a little sweet.
As I stare at it,
I can also faintly sense orange.
Enkianthus perulatus or heavenly bamboo.
Small leaves dancing in the wind.
Of course, it could be petals, too,
but it has the quality of lively, moving leaves.
In the cold, dry air,
children playing with rosy cheeks.
I felt it is a color that radiates vitality,
possessing a warmth that holds heat.
To the naked eye,
the saturation is a bit more subdued in the darker areas.
It has a straightforwardness that spreads smoothly when mixed with water.
That aspect also reminds me of an energetic child.
