A guy would say, "No."
A girl would say, "Most definitely." (My daughter couldn't believe you asked such a question.) Women know and use all the colors. Pink and rose couldn't possibly be the same color in their eyes. And dusty rose isn't the same color as copper rose. ... ... We men just know and use the basic colors, apparently a very small subset of the whole color spectrum. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It depends on the context in which one is discussing colors: for example, the common sets of color names for web pages and other computer programming contexts are not the same as color names used to describe clothing dyes.

I think the others are correct in assuming you to be talking about colours, but both are also names for genera of flowers. Pinks are from the genus Dianthus of the family Caryophyllaceae, whereas roses are from the genus Rosa of the family Rosaceae.

Yes, I was asking about colors, but your point is also well taken, re: flowers.
I thought about "rosa" and "rosado" to answer my second question... I appreciate very much all the answers and feedback... particularly Rusty's daughter incredulity... I'm wondering if Inspector Clouseau may have any further feedback, in terms of how he would translate "Pink Panther"... maybe as "La Pantera Rosa" or "La Pantera Rosada"... Short of having Janis Joplin singing in the background, my stream of consciousness and association of ideas starts to go a bit haywire... But now, seriously, What do you think about "color rosa y color rosado"... Any other Spanish synonym for "rosa"?

Bueno, ¿y dónde están las mujeres en este fórum? (o los pintores/-as, diseñadores/-as, impresores/-as... o cualquiera que sepa algo del Pantone...)
No, si ya sé que es "La Pantera Rosa"... estaba bromeando con opciones como "la Pantera Rosada" "La Pantera Rosácea" "La Pantera Sonrosada", y La Pantera Rósea"... Y luego está "la Patera Morena" (llena de inmigrantes del norte de África) (sin ninguna intención de ofender a nadie...) Hey... talking about Pantone, look what I found! http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx You can search "pink" or "rose" there and there are quite a number of options! (wow!) Silver pink, peach pink, primrose pink, pink lemonade... (uff... too many) Rose shadow, raspberry rose, crystal rose... (you name it) Some of them are similar, some completely different... (I guess I should find the Spanish "Pantone" version and I got it made...)

Exactly: this particular code specifies the maximum amount of red light (#ff0000"), and high but not maximum levels of green light (#00dd00) and blue light (#0000dd) all encoded as hexadecimal (base 16) values ranging between 0 (= #00) and 256 (= #ff). This particular combination produces a color on color computer monitors that most people identify as "pink". In the same manner "#ddffdd" produces pale green and "#ddddff" produces pale blue.

Ah, gracias a todos... como dice el dicho (de origen italiano, creo) "para gustos: los colores".

Then there's cerise, fuschia, and magenta....
But I don't where JPablo is coming from with 'primrose pink' given that primroses are yellow!
