prettygoodwordcoquelicot (KAW-klee-oh) - n., the corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas); the bright orangish-red of poppies. adj., having a bright orangish-red color.
Roughly , depending on your monitor. The color is from the poppy, and the name of the poppy is from the color -- specifically, in French, it's an alternate from of what a rooster says (more commonly it cries cocorico), and rooster's comb has a very similar color.
