Cerise is a beautiful color that looks a lot like a bright, deep pink or a light red. You can see an example of this color right here! The name cerise comes from the French word for cherry. The word "cherry" itself came from the old Norman word cherise.
People started using cerise as a color name in the English language around 1858. This was noted by Maerz and Paul in their Dictionary of Color. However, it was actually used even earlier, in 1846, in a book about crochet patterns.
In the 1950s, there was a popular brand of colored pencils called Venus Paradise. They had a special colored pencil named Hollywood cerise. Before it got this name in the 1940s, it was simply called Hollywood since 1922.
