Carnelian

Carnelian (or Cornell red) is a color named after the carnelian variety of the mineral chalcedony. This semi-precious gemstone is noted for its rich shade of reddish-brown. The first recorded use of Carnelian as a color name in English was in 1899. Cornell's color is referred to as Cornelian (an alternate spelling of the mineral carnelian) in the World Almanac of 1892 and the Living Church Annual and Whittaker's Churchman's Almanac of 1896.
