I don't know. Mine says 'light pink', written with two kanji:
Kuten 7484 and Kuten 2540. The first means 'fade, discolour',
and the second 'crimson, deep red'. Maybe the word has a broader
meaning, or varies dialectally.

PS Anyway, she's going to be Taikoo. Thanks everyone who proposed
all those beautiful names -- But my family agreed that Taikoo was
so nice and easy!
