Basically red. The names for orange and purple are pretty recent inventions, linguistically speaking. That's why we call them red onions and red grapes when they're purple and most "red" birds are actually orange.

Pink as well.some cultures still just refer to pink as "light red". Some cultures don't distinguish between blue and green. Some cultures make specific distinctions between blue and light blue. (see Italian; Azzurro)
