I mean agree to disagree. But limiting yourself to not using a word because it is cliche is ridiculous imo. I used the word crimson at least twice in my most recent story What the Moon Sees. My given prompt for the contest was 'red snow' so my hands were a bit tied...gotta describe that snow somehow. So, sure, I could have used 'red' a couple more times in my description, but that would have likely come off as even more repetitive. "Crimson" generally flows a bit better than "red" as it is a two syllable word and has all soft letter sounds.
