Gamma Crucis (Gacrux) has a spectral type of M3.
It therefore has a colour of red.
It is also the nearest red giant to us.
Actually, it is five: Alpha Crucis, Beta Crucis, Gamma Crucis, Delta Crucis, and Epsilon Crucis.
Alpha Crucis, Beta Crucis, Delta Crucis, Gamma Crucis, and Epsilon Crucis,
Gamma Crucis, also known as G Crucis or Gamma Centauri, is a blue supergiant star located in the constellation Crux. Its estimated age is approximately 10 to 20 million years. This relatively short lifespan is typical for massive stars, which evolve quickly compared to smaller stars like the Sun.
The four major stars in the constellation Crux (Latin for 'cross'), or the Southern Cross, are Alpha Crucis (Acrux), Beta Crucis (also known as Mimosa or Becrux), Gamma Crucis(Gacrux) and Delta Crucis (Decrux). Some also include Epsilon Crux (Juxta Crucem) on the list although it is not actually part of the Cross itself.
In the Southern Cross (Crux), the stars are arranged as follows: Alpha Crucis (Acrux) is the brightest and located at the top of the cross, while Beta Crucis (Mimosa) is to the left. Gamma Crucis (Gacrux) is at the bottom of the cross, and Delta Crucis is positioned to the right of Beta. Epsilon Crucis is often considered a less prominent member of the constellation and is located near the center of the cross.
They are called Gamma Crucis and Alpha Crucis (sometimes nicknamed "Gacrux" and "Acrux")
Gacrux is the traditional name for the star Gamma Crucis in the constellation of Crux (the Southern Cross) in the southern sky. The name is derived from a combination of the star's constellation (Crux) and its Bayer designation (Gamma).
The Southern Cross or Crux is a constellation that is made up of 5 stars. The distances of these stars varies, with the closest being 89 lightyears from our solar system. The distances of each of the stars (in light years (ly) is detailed below. Alpha Crucis = 320ly Beta Crucis (also known as Mimosa or Becrux) = 280ly Delta Crucis = 345ly Gamma Crucis (Gacrux) = 89ly, this is the closest Red Giant to our solar system Epsilon Crucis = 228ly
Gamma Librae is a very faint orange color.

Ampney Crucis's population is 609.
Ordo Crucis was created in 1933.
