Decoding the Enigma: What Defines Pink?
When it comes to colors, pink is a true charmer. But what exactly defines this whimsical hue?
On the color spectrum, pink is a lighter shade of red. But the color became so popular that it got its own name and now we say pink instead of light-red.
Pink is named after a flower, which is called, you’ll never guess it, pink! Though mostly referred to as the common pink, wild pink or garden pink to distinguish the plant from other members of the pink family like the mountain pink, sand pink, etc.
But wait, does magenta count as pink too?
Well, this is not quite as simple to answer. On the color spectrum, magenta is right in between red and purple. This adds to its charm when we see a magenta object and call it pink but in just the right kinds of light we see something blueish reflecting.
But to make it even more confusing, light colors are not the same as printing colors or painting colors.
Remember trying to mix purple with red and blue dye, but all you got was some yucky brown color? To make purple with dye you need magenta dye to mix with blue dye. And the regular red dye is magenta mixed with yellow. If you think this is confusing, then know that your monitor and ambient led-lights mix their colors with red, green and blue!
This confusion is created by the fact that seeing colors is all done in your eyes. Colors aren’t real but are just a matter of interpretation in your mind!
TLDR:
Pink is pretty, it’s red or almost red and you only need to know the exact definition of pink when you’re into professional printing or when you really care a lot about your shirt being magenta with ivory dots or fuchsia with eggshell dots.
The Mysterious Origins of Pink Day
The origins of this whimsical celebration are veiled in the magically mysterious pink fogs of time.
According to legend, Pink Day was created by a shady corporation known as “Big Glam” to increase its sales, because what better way to promote pink stuff than by inventing a holiday, right?
And then, there’s the most plausible explanation that Pink Day was created as a lighthearted idea that somehow slipped into the wild, spreading swiftly throughout the internet until it became an actual event in the hearts and minds of people all over the world via the power of shared enthusiasm.
