Oops, found it; I just wasn't looking in the right place.  It's  
actually next (in the color progression) to Deep Scarlet.    In the  
other swatches I've seen (such as on the handprint site) and  
according to the handprint description as well, the PR 179 looks  
rather dull and brown like dried blood, not a pretty color to me,  
while the deep scarlet dries a rich deep scarlet, as you can see in  
my swatches.   But the proof is in the pudding, and since I haven't  
used PR 179 to any extent, I can only speak for the PR 175, which as  
I've said has proved in my experience to be a very beautiful and  
useful color.  YMMV, as they say.
