pink is a softer, less violent red. pink is the sweet side of red. it's cotton candy and bubble gum and babies, especially little girls. while red stirs up passion and action, studies have shown that large amounts of pink can create physical weakness in people. perhaps there is a tie-in between this physical reaction and the color's association with the so-called weaker sex. in some cultures, such as the US, pink is the color of little girls. it represents sugar and spice and everything nice. pink for men goes in and out of style. most people still think of pink as a feminine, delicate color. both red and pink denote love but while red is hot passion, pink is romantic and charming. use pink to convey playfulness (hot pink flamingoes) and tenderness (pastel pinks). multiple shades of pink and light purple or other pastels used together maintain the soft, delicate, and playful nature of pink. add strength with darker shades of pinks and purple and burgundy. all shades of pink get sophisticated when combined with black or gray or medium to darker shades of blue. medium to dark green with pink is also a sharp-looking combo. the use of pink in familiar phrases can help a designer see how their color of choice might be perceived by others — both the positive and negative aspects. \ngood pink \nin the pink - healthy \ntickled pink - happy, content \npink collar - female office worker (sometimes used in a derogatory manner) \n\nbad or neutral pink \npink collar - female office worker (sometimes used in a derogatory manner to imply low person on the office totem pole) \npink - cut, notch, or make a zigzag \n\npink is thought to have a calming effect. one shade known as “drunk-tank pink” is sometimes used in prisons to calm inmates. sports teams sometimes paint the opposing teams locker room pink to keep the players passive and less energetic. while pink’s calming effect has been demonstrated, researchers of color psychology have found that this effect only occurs during the initial exposure to the color. when used in prisons, inmates often become even more agitated once they become accustomed to the color.

According to the website "Gender Specific Colors," it would seem that assigning color to gender is mostly a 20th century trait.   It would\nalso seem that at one time, the color associations were reversed when color first came into use as a gender identifier.\n\nIn fact, this reversal of what we consider "normal" was considered conventional, even in the early 20th century.\n\n"At one point pink was considered more of a boy's color, (as a watered-down red, which is a fierce color) and blue was more forgirls. The associate of pink with bold, dramatic red clearly affected\nits use for boys. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty,is prettier for the girl." [Ladies Home Journal, June, 1918]\n\nhttp://histclo.hispeed.com/gender/color.html - "Gender Specific\nColors"\n\nAccording to Jo B. Paoletti and Carol Kregloh, "The Children's Department," in Claudia Brush Kidwell and Valerie Steele, ed., Men and Women:  Dressing the Part, (Smithsonian Institution Press, 1989).  -\nIn the United States: "The current pink for girls and blue for boys wasn't uniform until the 1950's.\n\nIt would also seem that Nazi Germany had something to do with the association of pink with femininity:\n\n"Catholic traditions in Germany and neighboring countries reverse the current color coding, because of the strong association of blue with\nthe Virgin Mary...the NAZIs in their concentration camps use a pink triangle to identify homosexuals. (The yellow star of David is the best known symbol, used of course to identify Jews. The German system\nwas quite complicated, using various symbols an colors to identify criminals, political prisinors, an a whole range of other groups). The\nNAZI's choice of pink suggests that it by the 1930s was a color that in Germany had become associate with girls." - "Gender Specific Colors"\n\nWhile there are also myths and legends supporting both or either color for gender identification, those resources dealing with straight history date the identification of pink with femininity to the period of World War II or later.
