Yet another in our “What the heck colour is that?” series. Cerise. Repeat after me > Suh-rees. Wonderful. So what it is?
I always though it was pink, maybe a cross between lolly pink and hot pink. But no. Cerise is anything between cherry red and blood-red.
I still can’t get over the fact it is nowhere near pink. I checked everywhere hoping someone would say it was pink. I did find definitions of CERISE PINK (probably written by people like me who can’t handle the truth) but according to dictionaries everywhere, it’s red.
Boo.
