The same as using terms like "scarlet" or "sky blue" or "crimson" etc.
To subdivide the category "blue".

"Light red", that's how I sometimes think of it.  :-)

In fact, sometimes I think that light blue and dark blue would be more
justified being split up into two basic colors than red and pink.

I don't think so.  Well, I tend to see something that's a bit of a
purplish-blue, so maybe it's the blue that's lacking.  :-)
