What colour is this?

[abelina]

It's obviously pink, but what kind of pink?   I would call it "bubblegum pink", but what might Rose call it?

I'd call it baby pink.

[abelina]

I was considering that one, actually. I think it's what I might end up using. Thanks :)

I agree with candyfloss.

Barbie pink or Disney pink?

[cat63]

Yes - Barbie pink was my first thought.

It seems to have a mauvish tinge to it, so maybe mauvish pink or pinkish mauve (or mauvy pink or pinky mauve)? But I'm not very good at colours.

BTW, full marks for spelling "colour" the British way in the title of your post. :)

Thanks for the marks, LOL, though I'm from Canada and we spell words with 'u' in them, too. Or at least we are supposed to!

I am reminded of a fic in another British fandom in which a witness's written description of a suspect makes no sense (wearing green pants and matching vest, jumped out of a first floor window) until the police detective speaks to the witness and hears his accent, which he assumes to be American. When the witness says he's Canadian, the detective thinks, 'American, with some extra u’s' and starts "translating" the statement into British English.

Showing my age, I would call it crushed raspberry, but I don't think Rose would register Jackie Kennedy's outfit.
