crimson
kar.mil is a Hebrew color designation, attested in building and curtain contexts but not securely isolated by the translation.
The supplied gloss identifies kar.mil as a color designation; its three singular-noun occurrences occur in passages about a sent skilled person, building a house, and making a curtain, but the translation securely displays the color list only in 2 Chronicles 3:14.

The masculine singular absolute form occurs in 2 Chronicles 2:13, where the APB renders the verse about sending “a wise man knowing understanding,” and in 2 Chronicles 2:6, where it renders the question of building a house and burning incense. In 2 Chronicles 3:14 the same form occurs in the verse whose APB rendering lists “blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen” for the curtain; The term's precise place within that list cannot be established from the English alone.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB does not visibly reflect the term in 2 Chronicles 2:13 or 2 Chronicles 2:6. In 2 Chronicles 3:14 it includes “crimson” in a curtain-material list, but its lack of word alignment prevents a secure assignment of that English word to this lemma.
