Cerise

cerise I had never heard of cerise before writing my entries about Crayola colors, but I sure do like it.  It is in the purple hue family.  Crayola introduced it in 1993 along with 15 other colors that were named by consumers.  I would have named this color one that is easier to pronounce.  According to the Merriman-Webster Online Dictionary cerise comes from the French word meaning cherry.  The dictionary calls it a medium red.  No matter what, I like the color.  A lot of things could be colored with cerise besides cherries.  Maybe cheeks of little girls, a dress on a beautiful woman or even her lips.  Hey, that is a great color for a lipstick!  I'll have to look for cerise lipstick.
