Girls and the colour PINK



Pink is trendy, pink is attractive, pink is funky, hot, quiet and pink is the colour of cherry flavored cotton candy. This is what girls said about the colour pink when asked to describe it in one word.
This universe is full of wonderful colours. Every colour is different from other. Likewise, every human is unlike the other with a completely diverse mind. He views things in his own personal way. Colours also have a different meaning for every individual and we interpret them according to our mental state. For instance take white. One person takes white as the colour of purity and freedom and some other might relate it to loneliness.
Pink also have a variety of approaches. It is the combination of white and red. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. Red is the colour of anger, rage, vogue and passionate love. Where as white depicts peace and harmony and when these both colours are combined, a very stable and neutral colour is formed, that is, Pink. In this way pink possesses the qualities of both red and white. The shades of pink which contain more red has more essence of zeal and fury, and as it goes to the off-white, pearl shade it becomes more softer and cooler.
Pink is always associated to femininity as it gives the soothing, fragile impact of a women. Girls are supposed to be very easy going, sensitive and soft and that is what colour pink is. It’s in a girls psyche to like pink as she is around so much pink ever since she is born. Pink is a women’s colour of happiness and joy. It reflects the feeling of a teen age girl having her first crush, a little girl getting presents on her birthday, a student getting her graduation degree and a mother holding her new born baby for the very first time.
Pink is the ultimate favorite colour of girls.
A survey conducted among the girls of age 4 to 25 concluded that colour pink in all its shades is the most liked colour of more than 80 percent girls.
It is observed that brighter pinks are youthful, fun and exciting while vibrant pinks have the same high energy as red. They are sensual and passionate without being too aggressive. Toning down the passion of red with the purity of white results in the softer pinks that are associated with romance and the blush of a young woman's cheeks. It’s not surprising that when giving or receiving flowers pink blossoms are a favorite. For women who are often overworked and overburdened, an attraction to pink may speak to a desire for the more carefree days of childhood.
Pink stimulates the energy level in young girls and encourages action and confidence. It is an obvious element of a girl’s life and it appeal girls of all ages. Liking for different shades of pink also tells the nature of a girl. Girls who like the more reddish colours of pink are often supposed to be stylish, classy and adoring. On the other side girls liking the milder shades of pink are more dreamy, sensitive and charming.
Mostly girls have their rooms painted pink and they love to have pink curtains, pink bed sheets, lamps, quilts, cupboards and pink rugs. Bathrooms of girls are also pinky. They have pink towels, tubs, soaps and the mirror is also framed pink.

Pink is a very inviting colour. Girls who are not committed wear pink to attract masculine attention. A girl would prefer pink flowers as her first love gift. Pink also depicts a girl’s virginity as it is so purely feminine and sensitive.
It’s like a social norm now - as it is seen among almost every girl – that girls live in a kind of fairy land where she dreams of her future love life or her perfect spouse. This fairy tale atmosphere of a girl is related to pink. As if I would have to imagine my fairy tale wedding, I would view my self wearing a long pink gown with a bundle of pink roses in my hands and my prince would come to me in a white stunning buggy and we would be living in a palace with a wonderful garden full of pink flowers. So pink is the colour of a girl’s desire, her fantasies, her obsession and her passionate love for someone.
