Sunset red is one of the traditional purples in China.
Color words originated from Wang Bo's "Wang Teng Ting Ji" in the Tang Dynasty: from September to September, the order returned to Sanqiu, the water was cold and the pool was clear, and the smoke was purple, so you were enjoying the road and sightseeing.
For this sentence, Song wrote such a sentence in Wang Shi: Wang, smoke condenses mountains and purple. I also doubt that the palace will be purple at dusk.
Many ancient books also have records of "sunset and mountain purple":
