Vermillion is a colour between orange and red and quite attractive.
Vermilion is blood red. Many of the American Indians used the dried blood color of oxidized iron ore to paint body parts, especially their part in their hair.( In fact that oxidized form of iron ore is called vermilion, which is where the color name comes from.)( It was associated with the blood of mother earth. )
Syrina and Donna are right. It is an orangish red.
It is also called cinnabar (not cinnamon as above) which is the mineral mercuric sulfide.
I assume you are talking about an artist's color. Regardless of the medium (oils, water colors, acrylic) I believe vermillion is a standard color that can be purchased at a craft or art supply store.
Yellow?
