Today isn’t about you, me, her, or him, it’s only about one thing and that’s pink. It’s National Pink Day! The color pink has been around at least since the 1700s and was created by mixing red with white or light blue. The original pink was a light pastel, but as times, art, and fashion evolved, bright pink became a popular 20th-century hue. So, today we celebrate pink, in all shades, for all reasons because pink has made its way into our culture, our lives, and our emotions.
Lighter shades of pink are often assigned to femininity, romance, and tranquility. Hot Pink ignites energy, excitement, and adventure. A controversial color, pink has been a hot debate topic in men’s fashion, gender assignments, and even it’s existence has been called into question. Despite the controversy, pink is here to stay. It’s the national color of breast cancer, a part of our everyday language, and even a pop star. There is no avoiding pink! So join hands and celebrate the pretty, versatile, gender unspecific, awareness of the mixture of real colors and your brain’s bending of the color spectrum – PINK!
