All you need to know about Cinnabar.

Find out what the color means and how you can pair it with other colors to achieve beautiful results.

Very much like the mineral, the color Cinnabar is a strong, spicy red-orange. Given its attractive and vibrant shade, Cinnabar was generally utilized in the jewelry industry back in various ancient civilizations. But after realizing the harmful health effect of this mercury sulfide mineral, Cinnabar was stopped being used as a pigment in jewelry.

Cinnabar has a unique and harmonious balance with the warmth of red, the liveliness of orange, and the earthy quality of brown. It pairs amazingly with nearby shades of yellows and oranges to create warm color palettes. Cinnabar also functions well to highlight the vividness of its opposite hues, such as aqua, turquoise, and other blues.
