Pink Color Meaning an Symbolism

Significance of Pink Color in One’s Personality

A blend of white and red, this color possesses the purity and softness of the former as well as the power and passion of the latter. Having pink as one’s favorite color means that they have a loving, sensitive, generous, and caring personality. They may also have a sweet and pleasant disposition as pink is mostly associated with all adorable things like cotton candy, flowers, and bubble gum. Such people are even known to be emotional, getting hurt easily, also having a great consideration for other’s feelings.

However, if one has an extreme infatuation with the color, preferring it in each and every object of their daily life, then it could highlight a sense of immaturity, as well as a lack of self-esteem and willpower.

Is pink only a color of women

Pink is mostly thought to be a girly color, and those having a liking for this shade are perceived as girlish, delicate and sometimes a little silly. However, this is a misconception as not all women are fond of pink and the other sex could also have a desire for this shade. In fact, in the late 19^th and early 20^th century, it was said to be a color for the boys since its association with red made it look masculine, while blue, because of its soft delicate tone, was considered feminine. However, by the latter half of the 20th-century advertising agencies worked towards permanently fixing pink as the color of the female sex and even in literature this hue is used to glorify anything girly or delicate.
