Along with that, using a certain word evokes a certain emotion for the reader (for me, crimson sounds like a bloody rose, I guess, and scarlet sounds like a bloodier, rosier rose, (this isn't what I actually think of when I read the words, but it's the best way I could describe it) whereas red sounds like what happens when you put a bath-bomb in the tub); in the end, it's up to you to decide, but I myself am for using evocative words to describe things. I can see both situations, though.
