Red
Not:
Crimson
Scarlet
Ruby
Burgundy
or

But…
Red
People don’t call it Red China for nothing.
Red:
– red-hot or white-hot, glowing with heat INCANDESCENT
– red lead, as used formerly in paint MINIUM, CINNABAR
– red pepper, sweet pepper PIMIENTO, CAPSICUM
– red pepper as a condiment CAYENE PEPPER
red – ERYTHRO- (as in erythrocyte and erythroblast- ), RHODO-(as in rhodolite);
Like I said. China is Red.
