I don’t think of either of those as ‘berry.’ Houndstooth reads quite warm on me. Rapture, i’d put with purples. Frankly, having a tough time figuring out what is a berry, and what is a plum. I guess I think a berry is pinker than a plum. Maybe I have to get Hot Tryst for the berry in there, to find out!

I think Rapture is a mauvey-plum. Houndstooth reads warm berry on me, and much darker than it looks in Christine’s pictures here. Mine looks more like this person’s swatches: http://theblackmentosbeautybox.blogspot.com/2014/10/rave-review-thebalm-instain-long.html

I thought berries were cooler and more purple than plum is. Berry seems to be like coral in that everyone has a different idea of what it is. Some of the shades on that list look straight-up fuchsia to me, but they may look berry on darker skin tones.

Have to drag those Balms out. Scored 4 on Hautelook @50%, thanks to Muse. Clicked over: Guess I maybe forgot what Houndstooth is like. To me, Rapture is plum purple, as is Blissful. Sin is somewhat similar, but warmer. Goulue is a browned, red plum on me. I see shades I would classify as fuchsia, too. WTF!I think you’re right that people define many color terms differently. I only call s.t. berry, when berry is in the name! Then there’s warm and cool, esp in red lips, which has a lot to do with your coloring and lip color. What is cool on Christine, I know is warm or true on me, much of the time. Part of that is using yourself as the neutral. If it’s cooler than you, it’s cool. If it’s warmer, it’s warm. I still think I don’t know what berry is. At least I know what I like.

There’s a tone of overlap in color definitions, especially in makeup; that’s just the nature of color. If we wanted to take the berry category quite literally, we’d think in terms of what a berry *is*, and berries come in an array of colors. If we disregard things like Salmonberry, they’re generally cool red to reddish-purple, strong and bright (saturated) — usually based on the juice of a berry, but can be about the look of the whole berry too.

Plums are supposed to be desaturated versions of berries, with some wandering into the warmer part of the spectrum, but they’re usually less “bright” compared to berries. Plums in real life come in every shade from gold to almost-black purple, but I think the original category of “plum” came from the idea of the classic plum skin:

Some plums can be berry. Some berries can be fuchsia. Some fuchsias can be pink. I think the one thing you can say with some certainty (or at least minimal opposition) is that color like Sin and Love Thing (as well as Rapture) are more plum.
