Purplish red, cherry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cerise

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'purplish red' is the first definition.
(cerise is a kind of purplish red)

'cherry' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for cerise that I've seen before include "Light clear red" , "Reddish-pink colour" , "Color of ripe cherries" , "Cherry-coloured" , "Shade of red" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
