car•mine (ˈkɑr mɪn, -maɪn) n.
1. a crimson or purplish red colour.2. a crimson pigment obtained from cochineal.
By way of this challenge I am learning new colours, that’s for sure. This week Jennifer Wells’ One Word Challenge gives us carmine. Not being a red sort of person it took me a bit of time to find some ‘red’ and of course it was from the “Cooly Rocks On” weekend on the Gold Coast where everything 50s and 60s meets and has a fun week.
Here I found a variety of Carmine in different shapes and forms. I have created a carmine montage:

Nice. I love car shows and have oodles of photos on my hardrive of old cars.
Love the mix of reds (oops Carmine) however I think the first photo of the car is my fave. 🙂

Yep, first one just seems to have that purple undertone to the red. Great photos, as usual, Karen.

Why not. Carmine does bring red to mind, and it is such an “in your face” colour. Let’s have every shade of it we can.

I remember the post on the car show, Karen, and all the wonderful photos 🙂 It’s fun to see a single-color gallery though! Such great composition in all, and I do love the shininess of the first photo – just makes the car jump off the page!
