EN: carmine; deep red color
This is a fancy name for a deep, rich red color. Think of the color of a really good red velvet cupcake, a dark shade of lipstick, or the velvet curtains in an old theater. It's not just "pula," it's "pula" with a college degree. It's the color you'd use to describe something as luxurious or intense.
From Spanish "carmín".
More common as a technical term for color or in literary descriptions.
