Valmiki Ramayana Ayodhya Kanda Sarga 60 Shloka 18

अलक्तरसक्ताभौ shining red like the liquid lac, अलक्तरसवर्जितौ no longer tinted with such liquid, तस्याः her, चरणौ feet, अद्यापि even now, पद्मकोशसमप्रभौ are shining like the lotus buds.

Her feet, now devoid of lacdye, still look red like lac and shine like the lotus bud.
