SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
with vermilion
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Replaced 'intense red pigment' with 'with vermilion' because the context here is clearly decorative art on a wall, and 'vermilion' is the technical term used in English Bible translation for שָׁשַׁר; this fits best in context. |
