They are a true pink (not fuchsia) which is what I wanted, similar to how pictured. I guess they needed a way to distinguish the color from the lighter pink option. They are also bigger than I expected, so pay attention to the measurements. 5" diameter is larger than a typical ball ornament. I was a little worried about the obvious seam that is noticeable in the online pictures and that you can see in my photo. I don't think it will be noticable from a distance however.
