cayenne pepper
This dress is a culmination of a bunch of trends that I wouldn't normally wear-- off the shoulder, cold shoulder, tassels, all in a glaringly bright orangish-red shade. But put them all together and apparently they make for a dress that I couldn't resist!
When I first tried to describe this particular shade of orangish-red, I got stuck on the Cheetos scale of colors. It isn't quite like the original Cheetos because they're too Donald Trump in color. Finally I concluded that the dress is perfectly color matched to xxtra flamin hot Cheetos with their super xxtra spicy chilli powder seasoning (seriously, those things will burn your mouth. And I'm Indian-- tolerating spicy foods is in my genes.)
Ultimately I made the "adult" decision to call the dress cayenne pepper colored because it makes me sound more like a ~*foodie*~ and less like a 5 year old hopped up on junk food.
