- In Italian, lampone is used in the phrase colore lampone to describe a very specific, vibrant shade of pinkish-red that is more intense than a standard red.
- In Italian culinary terminology, a sauce made from lamponi is often called a coulis, a French loanword, rather than using a native Italian term for a fruit sauce.
