And as for "momoiro" for pink, it is still used for more of peachy-pink instead of full-out bright pink. The pink that Hello Kitty items come in is refered to as "pinku" while lighter shades of pink that have a hint of orange to them (i.e. look like a peach) are refered to as "momoiro".

I just noticed I forgot something with my explaination of "momoiro" and "pinku".
"momoiro" is sometimes used to refer to pornographic materials, so it's not commonly used for the actually color "pink" now. Both are still used, but from what I've seen and heard here in Japan, "momoiro" is more for shades of pink similar to that of peaches....

Chinotenshi just wrote that both momoiro and loan word pinku are used.

Orange is also a loan from English, orenji or orenji-iro.
