Persimmon is a color that closely resembles the tint of a very ripe persimmon fruit. Persimmon can also be described as a medium orange-red. It is very similar to the tints of coral red and vermilion.
The first recorded use of persimmon as a color name in English was in 1919. [1]
Etymology
The word persimmon is derived from putchamin, pasiminan, or pessamin, from Cree, an Algonquian language of eastern Canada, meaning "a dry fruit". [2]
