The colour vermilion is a bright red and consists of mercury sulphide, HgS. It is found in nature as the mineral cinnabar or mercury ore. The name vermilion comes from the Latin vermiculus, which means "small worm". This name is the result of a mix-up with kermes or carmine, another red pigment made from small insects (scale insects) whose colouring component is carminic acid or carminic acid.
