    Pink..?

    Would retailers not call them something like 'Crushed Raspberry' as being so typically Scottish..?

    I have fond memories of breakfasting off the wild fruit, after a night sleeping 'wild' in the heather, and the stain left on the hands is a very similar shade.

    Salmon color/colour. Sort of an inside joke for Campbells, or at least Argyll.

    Makes sense, I think - almost an alternate take on "ancient red." Actually, I have some "weathered red" flashes from Lochcarron which are basically pink.

    Seems that pink goes with nearly everything, much the same way that Lovat Green tends to.
