Oxblood or ox-blood is a dark shade of red. It resembles burgundy, but has less purple and more dark brown hues. The French term sang-de-bœuf, or sang de bœuf, with the same meaning (but also "ox blood") is used in various contexts in English,[3] but especially in pottery, where sang de boeuf glaze in the color is a classic ceramic glaze in Chinese ceramics.[4]
