a dark reddish mud


Explanation:
I think this comes closest to it: at least, if it's the colour of a pomegranate that is meant.

Otherwise, if its more like the mineral, I would say "garnet-like"

e.g. "The garnet-like cyanide framework of ammonium ferrocyanide hydrate with a channel system for ionic conductivity."

HTH,

Serge L.
