yes but it is not spanish but french : I am sure because it's my last name ! Cramoisy is from the colour "cramsi" found in Persia at middle-age by my ancester who was a dyer in Lyon - France. After the family was living in the country region of Oise and the name becomes Cramoisy. In french the colour is "cramoisi".
