Cherry-red colour (6)

I believe the answer is:

cerise

I believe this is a double definition.

'cherry' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'red colour' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for cerise that I've seen before include "Reddish-pink colour" , "Light purplish red" , "Deep red colour" , "Shade of red" , "Light clear red" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Irish Times.
