The red or pink of chrome-tin glazes is easily decomposed into a non-colored glaze by other glaze chemistry.
So in a battle of chrome-tin raspberry poured over some other glaze, very little of the raspberry color remains intact. I suspect even less red or pink would be visible if the other glaze were applied over the chrome-tin.
