As c3fyn notes, men are not to be trusted for defining colors, the corollary being that women are not to be trusted in defining colors for men who do not have the same vocabulary. However, I make special dispensation for an artist telling me it's not pink. "Cerise" is okay, I guess. What's that? Hmmm... "A deep to vivid purplish red," according The American Heritage dictionary.

Hmmm. Still looks pinkish-purple to me.
