"Crayons have gone global, in English, Spanish and French. Razzmatazz needs no translation."
"Razzmatazz: It’s raspberry, it’s ruby, it’s jazzy."

Malgré ce crayon où "razzmatazz" n'est pas traduit, je crois qu'il nécessite une traduction et que celle d'Agnès est très bien.

"Framboise écrasée" correspond très bien. Voir couleur et description de la couleur :

un très joli son ... et adapté au langage des enfants: agreed !

Thanks for agreeing with me Agnès, but the word Razzmatazz is actually of American origin and originally referred to very early ragtime type music and then came to mean "(of, pertaining to , or characterized by,) showy, insincere, or extravagant publicity, display, etc" OED. It way precedes any Chuck Jones characters by decades. And it is spelled in one word. When Warner Brothers updated the Chuck Jones character the Tazmanian Devil and renamed him TAZ they borrowed the word and played with it.

Thank you both for your input :) Framboise écrasée sounds good as razzmatazz is placed in a group of colours with lots of red and pink.

Razz-Ma-Tazz (as it is normally spelled) is a reference to TAZ of Tazmania (looney tunes) who was screaming that long ago.
It then became a famous night-club in Spain (Barcelona); http://www.google.com/imgres?q=razzmatazz&hl=fr&lr=&sa=X&rls...

And it is now a cocktail that is basically dark red http://www.google.com/imgres?q=razzmatazz&hl=fr&lr=&sa=X&rls...
How about "framboise écrasée"?

There is no color associated with razzmatazz but if there were it would wild and colorful. Possibly "raspberry something" would be a suggestion; raspberry is a bold color and has alliterative resonance.
