What does CERISE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A bright, deep pinkish-red colour, similar to that of ripe cherries.
Cerise takes its name directly from the French word for cherry, and fashion and design writers use it to describe a red with a distinctly pink or purple undertone, brighter and warmer than crimson. It sits between plain pink and true red on the colour spectrum, and appears often in descriptions of textiles, cosmetics and interior design. As an adjective the same word describes anything of that colour, such as a cerise dress or a cerise ribbon. The shade became especially fashionable in clothing during the nineteenth century, when new synthetic dyes made vivid reds easier to produce.
