From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 :   [ gcide ]

  Vermilion \Ver*mil"ion\, n. [F. vermillon. See Vermeil.]
     1. (Chem.) A bright red pigment consisting of mercuric
        sulphide, obtained either from the mineral cinnabar or
        artificially. It has a fine red color, and is much used in
        coloring sealing wax, in printing, etc.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The kermes insect has long been used for dyeing red or
           scarlet. It was formerly known as the worm dye,
           vermiculus, or vermiculum, and the cloth was called
           vermiculatia. Hence came the French vermeil for any red
           dye, and hence the modern name vermilion, although the
           substance it denotes is very different from the kermes,
           being a compound of mercury and sulphur. --R. Hunt.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Hence, a red color like the pigment; a lively and
        brilliant red; as, cheeks of vermilion.
        [1913 Webster]
