Aristocratic Draco Crimson

Greek aristokratía, rule by the best — adjectival suffix -ic. As a color modifier, aristocratic implies a saturated-and-noble-and-hereditary quality, the deep-rich color of pre-modern European aristocracy hereditary-class livery-and-armorial-bearings. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to patrician and lordly.

Latin draco, dragon-of-the-northern-sky. As a color modifier, draco implies a winding-northern-circumpolar-dragon quality, the visual register of Draco-circumpolar-and-northern-dragon hand-winding-northern-circumpolar-dragon Draco-circumpolar-and-northern-dragon-and-Bortle-1-sky draco-and-winding-northern-circumpolar surfaces under Draco-circumpolar-and-northern-dragon-and-Bortle-1-sky year-round-northern-circumpolar polar-stellar-light.

From the Old Spanish cremesin, itself from the Arabic qirmiz — the kermes scale insect, dried and ground into a brilliant carmine dye prized in the medieval Mediterranean. For centuries the most expensive red on a draper's shelf, reserved for cardinals, kings, and the cloth that gave English the word crimson. Cooler than scarlet, deeper than rose; the color of pomegranate seeds and a serious occasion.
