Technically, a military surplus store could be considered a second hand store. What militaries use berets that could be considered "raspberry" in colour?
Raspberries are red right? So loads!
Yeah, but they're a fairly specific shade of red. I wouldn't call, for example, a dark scarlet beret 'raspberry.'
This comes up when I search for 'raspberry color,' which I'd call about right.
I'd say that's a close approximate of raspberry, but only if you're shining light through it.
Aside of yourself, would anybody else genuinely notice the difference in shades? Especially if another one was not present for comparison.
I'm guessing if Prince had felt that the shade didn't matter, the song would have been "Red Beret."
