Vermilion \Ver*mil"ion\, n. [F. vermillon. See {Vermeil}.]       1. (Chem.) A bright red pigment consisting of mercuric             sulphide, obtained either from the mineral cinnabar or             artificially. It has a fine red color, and is much used in             coloring sealing wax, in printing, etc.          Note: The kermes insect has long been used for dyeing red or                scarlet. It was formerly known as the worm dye,                vermiculus, or vermiculum, and the cloth was called                vermiculatia. Hence came the French vermeil for any red                dye, and hence the modern name vermilion, although the                substance it denotes is very different from the kermes,                being a compound of mercury and sulphur. --R. Hunt.          2. Hence, a red color like the pigment; a lively and             brilliant red; as, cheeks of vermilion.
