History
The Color Directory of the Society of Chrysanthemists, published in 1905, specifies that it is that of the varieties “early English, late English, Montmorency long tail and Montmorency short tail,” not without indicating that “the Cherry fashions and fabrics are, most of the time, misnamed. As for the color, compared by expert looks, it is identical to that of the Ripolin paintings of the Rouge de Chine and the Lefranc color merchant No. 46. The cherry color of the dyers indeed diverges long ago from that of the fruits.
In the nineteenth century, Michel-Eugène Chevreul undertook to identify the colors between them and with respect to the lines of Fraunhofer. The Cherry of the General Instruction on the dyeing of the wool of 1671 is Red 10 ton or Red 9 ton like that of the dyer Guignon, that on wool of Villaret, Amiens, is Red 11 ton, that is to say of same shade as ruby red. Cherry is for Chevreul the vulgar name of the real red, and it was also, before him, the opinion of Castel. The Turkish Red on dyer Steiner cotton is also rated at 10-tone red. But Chevreul has also evaluated the cherry on silk Tuvée, purple-red 8 tone, when the Crimson-Cherry de Villaret, already mentioned, is violet-red 11 ton
The cherry red of blacksmiths
These are points of view of specialists studying colors. But their views can be compared to those of an artilleryman, who, speaking on the incendiary shot with red balls, writes “by heating it cherry red, a dilation much stronger than that which results from the red-brown”. Indeed, it was said to heat red-brown (meaning dark red), cherry red, white. When the iron is heated without melting it, therefore to less than 1800 K, the color of the radiation is always a red of the longest wavelengths of the visible spectrum, that is to say exactly those which Chevreul designates for red, commonly called cherry.
As this shade does not reproduce easily with dyes, they mixed with them (kermes or madder) blue. This is also necessary to obtain the hue of certain varieties of cherries.
