What color is Raspberry?
Raspberry is a vivid, cool-toned red with a strong pink-magenta push, hex #E30B5D, bright enough to stand apart from both cherry red and hot pink. The color has a saturated, almost electric quality, closer to a fresh raspberry fruit than a muted or washed-out red.
What is the meaning of the color Raspberry?
Named for the small, jewel-toned berry cultivated across Europe since at least the 16th century, when raspberry as a fruit name appeared in English records. The berry’s distinctive hue was adopted as a color term by the mid-18th century, appearing in fabric and dye trade descriptions as demand grew for vivid pink-red tones in fashion. Synthetic dye production in the 19th century made raspberry-range hues accessible beyond luxury textiles, stabilizing the color’s place in commercial clothing and print. Crayola formalized the name in its crayon line, issuing Raspberry as a named color in 1993.
