Crimson Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary

כרמיל, 2 Chron. ii, 7, iii, 14, the name of a colour. Bochart supposes it to be the _cochlea purpuraria_, or purple from a kind of shell-fish taken near Mount Carmel. But as the name of the mount is said to mean a vineyard, one may rather suppose the colour to signify that of grapes; like the redness of the vesture of him who trod the wine-press, Isa. lxiii, 1, 2. What our version renders _crimson_, Isa. i, 18; Jer. iv, 30, should be _scarlet_.
