I see cinnabar as red with noticeable orange and a dose of brown thrown in.

I've seen the name before, but had no idea what color it was. However, knowing it was a Lilly question, I just went with the picture

earlepg, Me too, I think of cinnamon and expected to see brown instead of red as an option.
