Actually I always thought of the color as "burnt umber" which is an
orange infused with red
Orange is a much brighter color and red is a much darker color
about Bernard Herrman.. I was lucky to score a double LP of Herrman's
Hitchcock scores about 35-40 years ago and it is a great album.
I've always thought Herrman was one of the very best film score
composers and I also think it is unique that he did Hitchcock as well
as Harryhausen scores.

Interesting bit of trivia on the posters for Vertigo. Most people
might well think that virtually all the posters are basically "the
same", but actually each one has a different silhouette image!
You don't notice this until you look at the pressbook page, where it
jumps out at you.
I have had many one-sheets and other size posters, and all are an
orange color. Has someone ever seen a "red" one?

Great article today paying homage to film composer Bernard Herrmann
and "Vertigo." It's written by arts and letters scholar Jack
Sullivan, better known for his studies that conclude -- that the
horror genre -- should be taken seriously as literature.
I still consider the "Vertigo" one-sheet designed by Saul Bass
weirdly appealing in spite of its bland orange-and-black colors, but
as for the film itself....

Think this may down to what you class as a very reddish orange, or an
orangey red!
But there is variation in these, a decent example, strong printing, no
fading, isn't insipid in my book.
One sheet I used to have, (strong printing, no fading), that example I
would describe as red, though not the strongest of reds.
But do I understand there are some, (1 shts), that are even more
scarlet in colour, (variation in ink used?), though these must be far
from common.
Have the six sheet, and that's a red to me, not the strongest red,
certainly not scarlet, don't think you'd class it as orange, but who
knows.
Anatomy of Murder on the other hand, that's a slightly orangey yellow,
with an orangey orange!
Need to get out of the house now.
Cheers,
