What color is Strawberry?
Strawberry is a warm, medium-toned red with a slight brightness that keeps it from reading as dark, hex #FA5053, close to the flesh of a ripe strawberry fruit. The color has visible pink in it, giving it a softness that separates it from a pure fire-engine red.
What is the meaning of the color Strawberry?
The name links directly to the fruit, which has carried a red color association in English since at least the 15th century, when strawberries appeared in illuminated manuscripts as decorative motifs with their recognizable red tone. By the 19th century, strawberry as a color term appeared in fabric dyeing and textile trade in Britain, used to describe a specific warm, brightened red distinct from crimson or scarlet. The color became a product category in itself when Crayola introduced a Strawberry Red crayon in 1949, anchoring the shade in American visual culture for generations of consumers.
