I agree it looks like pink sapphire, but I was also reminded of this article.

@Avondale and @fredflintstone you are right. Chinese, red is “hong” 红 and pink is a variation of red, called “fen hong” (powder red) 粉红 or in short, powder 粉. In Malay red is “merah” and pink is “merah jambu”, again a variation of red. Jambu refers to a fruit called rose apple (which is not an apple!) that is pinkish red. Speaking of rose, French and Latin-based languages refer to pink as rose and other variations like rosa. Many languages place pink on a continuum with red, and not an entirely different colour. I am imagining how some songs from the Barbie movie would be translated

Good info!
Yes, pink is just an unsaturated red.
It happens with Emerald and Tsavorite too if people do not think a stone is a vivid enough green. Yet, it is still green.
