Oh, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_%28color%29 ruby is, in fact, a color. just FYI.] "Ruby is a color that is the representation of the color of the cut and unpolished Ruby gemstone"

In other words, Ruby is Red by any other name, but used only to refer to the Red In Rubies, instead of Red In General. In other words, someone was very stupid when he made that page, and the person who called Ruby a color was part of the Department of Redundancy Department.

Because really, the color of cut and unpolished Ruby gemstones is Red, so saying that color, is a "representation of the color of the cut and unpolished Ruby gemstones", is saying that color is a different name for Red, used for redundancy when talking about Rubies.

Now, I would understand something like Ruby Red, as in "As red as a Ruby", because that makes more sense and is less redundant. But alas, that isn't the case.
