Antique Ruby — Because rubies have been so highly valued for thousands of years, it's hardly a surprise that a color called "Antique Ruby" should have some basis in a real-world shade. Antique Ruby is a dark shade of red that looks almost crimson in certain lights. Like most other antique colors, it pairs well with other dramatic jewel tones or with more traditional neutral colors.
