Japan doesn't even have its own word for PINK. it's literally Red plus White.
This is incorrect.

Momoiro (literally "peach-coloured", as Japanese peaches are bright pink) is the Japanese word for pink. You'll also hear a lot of people say "pinku", the English loanword.

The word they actually lack is green. Midori is a foreign loanword from what I remember.
No, midori is still Japanese. It's more modern Japanese, showing up for the first time roughly 1000 years ago, but it's not a loanword. That said, it's considered a shade of blue (ao) and you'll still hear people refer to green things as ao or aoi (most readily seen in the name of Aomori prefecture, which literally translates to "blue forest").
