Japanese Color Atlas日本色譜えんじいろ · Lac crimson · family red
臙脂色 (Enji-iro) is catalogued here as lac crimson. Deep lac/crimson dye name with documented historical usage; conservation studies of enji/lac colorants exist but no per-record physical-sample measurement is attached, so HEX remains a display approximation.
Conservation-science studies publish spectral/reflectance evidence for the related pigment or dye family. This supports the material context, not a per-record measurement; the displayed HEX remains a digital approximation.
Name appears in at least one CC BY-SA Wikipedia traditional Japanese color list; HEX remains a Chroma Cathay digital approximation for design use.
Traditional color names predate modern screen color spaces, so this HEX value is a design approximation rather than a material measurement.
These entries preserve historical material, pigment, dye, or alternate-graph evidence without treating it as a direct HEX source for this color.
SOURCE BASIS Tobunken documents these Nara-period terms with Shosoin-document citations under the purple-series vocabulary.
RELATIONSHIP They are historically related enji-family material or pigment terms, but they are not the same record as the modern color name 臙脂色.
CAVEAT Use this as historical material context only. It does not add a Tobunken name attestation or HEX value for 臙脂色.
