A su vez, mi talentosa amiga y diseñadora de arte BCD nos propuso dividir estos países conforme a la gama de los rojos: ***chedron*** para Marruecos, rojo vivo para México y violeta para Japón.

This is written by a Mexican, so I imagine it is a Mexican Spanish word.

Any idea what kind of red this is?

Many thanks in advance!

No encuentro referencias para justificar mi comentario, pero tengo la impresión de que "chedron" es españolización del francés "chaudron" que significa caldero (generalmente de cobre) y se usa para referirse al rojo cobrizo.

Hi Sally - thanks for your answer. Maybe I've missed something, but I can't find any mention of the word 'chedron' or 'chedrón' in your reference. Do you mean that it's a typo? Or do you mean that 'chedrón' means 'cedar'? I can't find any references to support this myself. Many thanks! Sheila
