Carmine is a vibrant red color created by mixing cochineal extract or carminic acid with an alkaline solution, often combined with other colors like blue to create shades of violet or purple. In a more general context, carmine can also refer to a specific pigment derived from the cochineal insect, which is processed to yield its rich red hue. The resulting color is often used in art, cosmetics, and food products.
