Drawn in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 7; took fifteen and a half hours.

Here's PEPTO PINK, a color that was surprisingly hard to identify exactly. I actually contacted Pepto-Bismol directly, to ask what their official RGB/CMYK values were for their signature color. They strung me along for a few weeks before sending a generic email saying they had no answer to my question. So, I took matters into my own hands, pulled a bunch of graphics off their website for reference, and checked the HTML code for the site.
I came up with the following Hex values in their webcode for different shades of pink:

eaa1d0
dc469c
f5b1de (This is the value I determined as the main one they use)
f1b5de
a50a5d

Another website identified the value as ffb8d4, sent to me courtesy of abmajor1, when I explained the situation.

So, I used f5b1de as my main pepto pink color for the background and hair, used ffb8d4 for the collar, and made sure to use the others somewhere in drawing.
Take that, Pepto-Bismol; nothing stops me from being precise.

As for the Rosea berry, it grows on a breed of Rowan Tree, also known as the Mountain Ash. But don't let the name fool you, it's not actually an ash tree. The berry itself is edible, but very bitter, and you're generally going to want to cook it into something rather than eat it raw. Apparently in some Norse mythology, it is from the Rowan tree that the gods first made women. So, thank you Rowan tree!
