Can somebody please help with the last clue:

18A. Light red colour (6) ?E?I?P

Wikipedia lists 21 notable shades of red, none of which fit the clue. The only word I can find which matches the grid is "megilp", which is a medium for oil-paints, not a colour.
Thanks.

your "P" is wrong..
it should read ?E?I?E

elle. Many thanks for your fast reply, which I have only just seen.

I managed to spell UPPERCUT with three Ps, which rendered 18A impossible.

With the correct letters, CERISE is obvious
