It's a red-crimson colour.
Cochineal is a natural red dye made from crushed female cochineal insects. These insects do not contain blood as we typically think of it, but they do contain a pigment called carminic acid which produces a vibrant red color when extracted.
Potassium carbonate is used in the preparation of cochineal solution to help stabilize the color of the solution. It acts as a buffering agent, helping to maintain the pH level of the solution, which in turn helps to preserve the color intensity of the cochineal dye extracted from the insects.
