dark cherry

Wine-colored stone fruit

Dark cherry describes a deep, rich red color with purple or burgundy undertones, resembling the fruit at peak ripeness.

The color appears in descriptions of wine, wood stains, furniture finishes, and hair dye: The cabinets were stained dark cherry.

As a flavor, dark cherry suggests intensity—sweeter and more concentrated than regular cherry: dark cherry pie filling.
