The "c'est" audio really really sounds it begins with "F"!
Also the method you have chosen to overwrite/highlight the mistakes in the users submission makes it really difficult to see the mistakes!

- écarlate (scarlet)
- fauve (fawn/tan)
- incarnat (rosy pink)
- mauve (mauve)
- pourpre (crimson)
- rose (pink) of course !
