IMPORTANT: CRIMSON IS NOT A SHADE OF RED.
This common error has caused considerable distress among the faithful.

✦ THE DOCTRINE OF CRIMSON ✦

Crimson was here before your browser. Crimson will remain when your bookmarks have failed. It inhabits velvet curtains, sealing wax, old banners, wine stains, autumn leaves, illuminated manuscripts, and the suspicious glow of emergency exit signs.

Do not confuse crimson with scarlet. Do not confuse crimson with burgundy. Do not, under any circumstance, describe crimson as "basically dark red."

ARTICLE DECLARATION
I. Crimson deserves proper lighting.
II. One should own at least one excellent crimson object.
III. Scarlet may visit, but shall not remain overnight.
IV. A wine stain is not necessarily an accident.
V. The hexadecimal code shall be respected.
☩ THE DEEPER THE CRIMSON, THE QUIETER THE ROOM ☩
