At this point, I’m wondering if there is enough of a quantity of raspberry berets in secondhand stores to identify the kind you would find in one.

    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.

      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.”
