Not sure how Balenciaga will interpret the color, but Vermillion is a red tinted with an orange undertone - Hermes has a red color with that name, and that's how they've done it as well.
LOL I know. I acutally like the rouge vif for fall 06 better than the 05 bag. The 06 has just a hint of orange and I think it's perkier looking and pops more without being as bright as I expect the rouge vermillion will be.
in French vermillon means this rust color orange, I remember hating that paint tube in art class , guess it'll be slightly more orangish than rouille even though we can tell for sure just from the name
