And, Japanese gained a version of the word for pink from the Dutch, and also use the word white in their construction for a Western-styled dress shirt. Such that pinkwhiteshirt is a gloss for something that exists but Why Words!

Sweet William, which is another dianthus, is quite a bit more strongly hued than carnations (I'm not up on all the subtleties of how what was how when) and their pinking is even more noticeable with being flatter flowers.

But yeah, this is how English sloshes along.
