There were seven standard colors listed in the early 70's catalog (red, orange, yellow, kelly green, sky blue, purple, and white). There were different varieties of red (including the aforementioned burgundy), and I think the purple may have varied also. A medium blue appeared at some point also. Some other colors were available via custom order (lime green, for example). Not sure where the pink fits into the timeline in terms of imported bikes. There were a number of other color variants that came along later on Merciers in the 70's, and 80's.
