A variant or dialectal spelling of crimson (a deep red color).
Likely a regional or obsolete variant of crimson, which comes from Arabic qirmiz (a red dye from insect cochineal). The -on ending appears in some historical texts.
Before modern color naming, crimson was so prized that it had multiple spellings because it came from exotic Persian dye merchants, and European languages borrowed and adapted the word.
