Corundum is called Sapphire except red Sapphire which is called Ruby.  The word sapphire comes from the Greek word for blue, sapphirus.  Only a few hundredths of a percent of iron and titanium can cause the colour, and the more iron the corundum contains, the darker the blue.  A rare sapphire is a Padparadscha which is a pinky peach colour, found in Sri Lanka.  The best shade of red for a Ruby is Pigeon Blood Red.  Ruby can be any shade of red up to almost pink.
