Dance Information

In gemology, a true ruby is characterized by its deep red color, resulting from the presence of chromium within its chemical composition. The intensity and purity of the red hue contribute to the value and desirability of the ruby as a precious gem.

Ruby red is also commonly used as a descriptive term for a rich and vibrant shade of red in various contexts. It is employed in the fields of fashion, design, and art to specify a particular tone within the red spectrum.
