Coquelicot appears in literature as a vivid, striking red that evokes both natural beauty and playful ornamentation. In some works, its presence is almost sartorial—a lawyer’s wig, for example, is humorously decorated with coquelicot ribbons, lending a touch of ironic flamboyance to the scene [1]. Other authors draw on the color’s botanical roots by linking it directly to the red poppy, even noting its very naming in French and its association with the flower’s brilliant hue [2, 3]. The color further finds its way into costume details, such as a ladies’ poke-bonnet trimmed with coquelicot fabric [4], and is even used in vivid comparisons, like a face described as having the color of coquelicot [5].
