   • 1956, Delano Ames, chapter 4, in Crime out of Mind‎:

     Before we could embark on the details of his mother's health we were joined by a fair, plump woman of indefinite age, who had once been—and at moments still was—very pretty. She wore a simple black silk dress, perhaps in deference to Tilly's death, though the note of mourning was jarred by flamboyant aquamarine ear-rings and too much rouge.

2. Any reddish pink colour.
3. (Canadian football) A single point awarded when a team kicks the ball out of its opponent's end zone, or when a kicked ball becomes dead within the non-kicking team's end zone. Etymology uncertain; it is thought that in the early years of the sport, a red flag indicated that a single had been scored.

   • 1832 November 19, “On Eton Games, Continued”, in Eton College Magazine‎, number viii, page 284:

     [A] wall [...] against which all those formidable "rouges" (as they are most underivably called) take place; in which above twenty players contend, kicking each others' shins nearly as often as the ball

5. In the Eton College field game, a scoring move accomplished by touching the ball down behind the opponents' goal-line (somewhat similar to the try in rugby). Originally, the player who scored the rouge had a chance to kick a goal, and the rouge was used as a tie-breaker if an equal number of goals was scored by each side. In the contemporary Eton College field game, a five-point score is awarded for kicking the ball so that it deflects off one of the opposing players and goes beyond the opposition's end of the pitch, and then touching the ball.
   • 1840 November 29, C. Pepys, “[Letter to the editor]”, in Bell's Life in London‎, page 4:

   • 1847, H.H. Tremayne, A.R. Thompson, Field Game Rules‎:

     A rouge is obtained by touching the ball first, after it has been kicked behind

6. (obsolete) From 1862 to 1868, a similar scoring move in Sheffield rules football. From 1862 to 1867, accomplished by touching the ball down after it had been kicked between two "rouge flags" either side of the goal. From 1867-1868, awarded for kicking the ball between the rouge flags and under the crossbar.
   • 1862, Laws of the Sheffield Foot-Ball Club‎:

     A rouge is obtained by the player who first touches the ball after it has been kicked between the rouge flags
