I think we must be careful here. Vermillion must be reserved for a meltdown in the extreme...a Mary_Ethel type meltdown where the poster is "away" for a long spell following said meltdown. A code vermillion is a very rare event.
On the other hand, I aagree that there must be a designation for a mini-meltdown...one where things return to normal after a good night's sleep. How about Fuschia?
