I really like the color pink. I have many pink shirts and like to eat pink cotton candy. Do you like pink?

I'm not a big fan of pink, but it's interesting that it only began to be used as a color name in the late 17th century.

Really? I wonder what the shade was called before then. Perhaps light red?

Well Homer described the color as pale rosy red, or soemthing to that effect in the Odyssey.

I see. I find it interesting that pink used to be considered a masculine color. People would dress boys in pink and girls in blue. Now it is the opposite!
1_Wizard
Wow that is really interesting. I wonder why and how it changed. Maybe they felt it wasn't a good seasonal color for boys like what they do in those color analysis things for each season.

Yes I have a feeling clothing companies started advertising pink clothes for girls and it caught on. Who knows, maybe it will switch back again.

Yeah that is a possibility. I mean they made the color represent breast cancer awareness seamingly overnight.

Very true. That is a common association today. I have seen men in pink dress shirts on occasion so there are still some who view it as masculine.
