Carnelian is a color named after the carnelian variety of the mineral chalcedony. This semi-precious gemstone is noted for its rich shade of reddish-brown.
The first recorded use of Carnelian as a color name in English was in 1899.[2] The color used by Cornell University is referred to as Cornelian (an alternate spelling of the mineral carnelian) in the World Almanac of 1892[3] and the Living Church Annual and Whittaker's Churchman's Almanac of 1896.[4]
