Etymology

The word violet-pink comes from joining violet, which names a small flower and means 'purple', and pink, which names a flower and means 'light red', so it means a pink color with a faint purple or violet touch. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a flower or a dress that is mostly pink but has a soft purple glow.
