Symbolism

Originally, the color pink used to the masculine male color but it changed over time so now I'm informing you on the current symbolism of pink. This color is oftened used and associated with feminine traits and things. When looking at the color its mainly noted as soft, nuturing and playful. Not all shades of pink mean to be nice and nostalgic, the shade that reminds of the soft traits is a light pink which is used mostly in baby clothes or toys etc. Bright and hot pinks are related to things like love and romance. Unfortunately due to pink mainly being in feminine things, pink is often viewed as weak color and emotional.
