What are the latin words for pink and brown?

Question

Obviously, white is albus, as in albino,
and black is niger, as in Nigeria.

But as neither skin pigment ( feel race/ethnicity are not proper words) is actually these colors. I was wondering if the Romans had no words for brown and pink. The Latin-English dictionary I tried yeilded no results. Can anyone help enlighten me?

Answer 1

For brown, there are a couple fit.

Fulvus - brown, with gold/yellow tinges; tawny
Spadix - chestnut brown

The Romans did not have a good, general-purpose word for pink. The two closest are:

Puniceus and Roseus (or Rosaceus). These are more toward the red side.

There is one other word to consider:

Carnosus - Flesh-colored.

This word was used to describe the color of the skin of Romans.

Answer 2

Puniceus (http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puniceus ) and aquilus (http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquilus ).
