Russet is a dark brown color with a reddish-orange tinge. As a tertiary color, russet is an equal mix of orange and purple pigments.〔Miskella, William J. (2004) (). ''Practical Color Simplified: A Handbook on Lacquering, Enameling, Coloring and Painting 1928''. Whitefish, Montana: Kessinger Publishing. ISBN 9781417980512. (pp. 20–21 ).〕 The first recorded use of ''russet'' as a color name in English was in 1562.〔Maerz and Paul (1930). ''A Dictionary of Color''. New York: McGraw-Hill. page 203; Color Sample of Russet: Page 37 Plate 14 Color Sample I12.〕 The source of this color is the ''The ISCC-NBS Method of Designating Colors and a Dictionary of Color Names'' (1955) used by stamp collectors to identify the colors of stamps.〔See sample of the color Russet (Color Sample #55) displayed on indicated page: (ISCC Color List Page R )〕 The name of the color derives from russet, a coarse cloth made of wool and dyed with woad and madder to give it a subdued grey or reddish-brown shade. By the statute of 1363, poor English people were required to wear russet. Russet, a color of autumn, is often associated with sorrow or grave seriousness. Anticipating a lifetime of regret, Shakespeare's character Biron says in ''Love's Labour's Lost'', Act V, Scene 1: "Henceforth my wooing mind shall be express'd / In russet yeas and honest kersey noes." The color is mentioned in a famous quote taken from a letter Oliver Cromwell wrote to Sir William Spring in September 1643: "I had rather have a plain, russet-coated captain that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, (that which you call a gentleman and is nothing else )".〔 Cites Carlyle ''Letters and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell''.〕 ==See also== * List of colors * Russet apple * Russet potato 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russet (color)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
