In the 18th century, pink was actually considered a masculine color, symbolizing strength and bravery. But by the mid-20th century, marketing trends flipped the script, promoting pink for girls and blue for boys.
Interestingly, a study in Current Biology found that while both genders generally preferred blue, women showed a stronger preference for shades closer to red, like pinkish-purple. This might hint at a biological inclination towards pink.
Pink also shines in nature—flamingos, naturally gray, turn pink from their diet rich in carotenoids from shrimp and algae. Without it, they’d lose their vibrant hue!
Psychologically, pink is known for its calming effects. "Baker-Miller Pink," for example, has been used in prisons to reduce aggression, highlighting its tranquil properties.
Today, pink isn’t just feminine; it’s a vibrant symbol of love, romance, and strength. From the global breast cancer awareness movement to fashion, pink makes a bold statement. Here at Squeem, we believe that pink is more than just a hue—it’s a playful yet powerful shade of strength, beauty, and confidence. You can feel fierce, fabulous, and utterly gorgeous in your own color! 🌸✨
