[AKE]

Since scarlet(緋) is associated with the colors of the sun and fire, it was thought to represent a strong life force.

Hi-iro(緋色) is a type of madder dyeing made from the root of the madder plant, and while the darkest red color is called Akane-iro(茜色), the brightest madder color is called Hi-iro(緋色).
