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]
The Carnelian Room was a luxury restaurant that was once located on the 52nd (top) floor of the
555 California Street Building, formerly the Bank of America Center, in
San Francisco,
California. The restaurant was so named because 555 California Street is a building whose outer cladding is composed of carnelian colored
granite. The restaurant went out of business on 31 December 2009 because of the continuing impact of the
financial crisis of 2007–2008.[6] In 2013, the space the restaurant occupied was leased by video game company
Supercell. [7]
