Not sure but...

Hi Allen -

What are you referring to? A color mentioned in a book? A color on a computer screen?

The only thing that comes to mind immediately is an optical mix of magenta and yellow - 100% each, which looks like red when put together, one over the other. This is from my old days as a graphic artist in a printing company: for printing we had to mix our four colors of cyan, yellow, magenta and black to get any desired color.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for.
