Cerise (/səˈrs/ or /səˈrz/; French pronunciation: ​[səˈʁiz]) is a deep to vivid reddish pink.

The colour or name comes from the French word "cerise", meaning cherry in French.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded use of cerise as a color name in English was in The Times of November 30, 1858. This date of 1858 as the date of first use of the color name is also mentioned in the 1930 book A Dictionary of Color. However, it was used at least as early as 1845 in a book of crochet patterns.

There are various tones of cerise.

In the 1950s, a popular brand of colored pencils, Venus Paradise, had a colored pencil called Hollywood cerise which was this color. Before being renamed Hollywood cerise in the 1940s, the color had been known, since its inception in 1922, simply as Hollywood.

Displayed at right is the deep tone of cerise called cerise in Crayola crayons (see the List of Crayola crayon colors).

The color name cerise has been in use for this color since 1993 by Crayola.

The color irresistible is displayed at right.

The color name irresistible first came into use in 1948.

The source of this color is the Plochere Color System, a color system formulated in 1948 that is widely used by interior designers.
