Scarlet is also a red,hence 'scarlet fever'. I believe it produced very pronounced redness to the skin of people who had this disease.In the film Gone with the Wind, Vivienne Leigh, who played the part, had dark hair, but very red lipstick as I recall. Hollywood's version of ladies' fashion in 1800s.
Wowza! So many repeats. Didn't expect to remember them all.
And fast women — a red petticoat is the centuries-old sign of a working girl from the red-light district. The heroine of Gone With the Wind was undoubtedly named to indicate she was indeed a Scarlet Woman.
