Poppy red is a "known/recognized" red.

It is neither scarlet, which is too bright, nor crimson, which is too dark.

If I had to pick another known color close to poppy red, I would suggest vermilion, but some how I don't think that would work in a poem.

The best compromise would be scarlet, but many people will find that inaccurate.
