The color "Arai-shu" is a different kind and quaint brighter vermilion from "Shu (vermilion)". "Arai-shu" means a light vermilion color because the color becomes lighter after washing the dyed cloth. The color can be said close to orange red. The color range is wide, from a vermilion like reddish color to a salmon pink kind of color are called "Arai-shu".
It is one of the colors that became popular in the late Edo period with the revival of Yamato-e.
