The first recorded use of rust as a color name in English was made by artist William Turner, who called it "Oersted's Red" after French chemist Éleuthère Norbert De Saussure. This pigment has been used to create stage lighting effects since 1828 because its orange-brown shade closely resembles that found on safelight bulbs at the time which were lit with tungsten light sources instead of daylight ones like today's fluorescents do. The word 'rust' finds its etymological origins within Proto Germanic words meaning redness or blush -- close relatives
