PINK and other colors

**iida** · 06-28-2008, 07:28 AM

Here in Finland atleast nine women out of ten hate the color pink.
I don´t know why, maybe it is too feminine or something. I really like bubblegum pink. When my DS was a baby, he had some pink clothes, even some outware. When he went to school, he wanted a pink rucksack. I didn´t have the guts to buy him one and bought bright red instead. His next bag was purple and the next was orange. He is seventeen now and still likes colors.
What do you think of pink?

I love pink! Growing up, I was NOT the girlie girl type. My mom never put me in dresses and I never had pink. So once I got into my 20's, I started wearing a whole lot more pink. I love it.

My DS7 had a pink blankie when he was younger. He loved the color until he was old enough to realize that it wasn't a "boys" color. He got teased by some of the nieghbors (adults, mind you...not neighbor kids) and that was the end of the pink blankie!

~Love pink! My ds loves pink too. In fact, when he was a baby I had this one pink shirt that, when I wore it, he would smile and coo at it like it was a person. Pretty funny!~

It's not my favorite color but I don't hate it. I have a few pink tops. I don't wear it much because I have ruddy skin tone and sometimes it just doesn't look good on me. I have one room in my house with pink accents. Orange is a color I don't wear or decorate with, dark purple and navy blue are next to the bottom of the color favorites list.

I'm not a girly girl but I do wear pink. I like purple better.

I like purple better then pink. I think I only have one piece of clothing that is pink. My 14 yr old dd shocked me, we are letting the kids paint their bedrooms this summer, and we did hers last weekend. She chose bubble gum pink for the walls, bought herself a green bedset and is now looking for an orange curtain. One wall she left white and splatter painted with pink, green and orange. I was leary about letting her do it, but gotta admit I kind of like it.

I like all colors, I can find somethng pretty in every one of them. I think my fav is blue (I have a LOT of blue stuff!!), but I have a couple of pink shirts and tops. I like to break up the monotony.

My boys wouldn't touch pink. They must have been teased early on.

Momto2boyz--that sucks that adults would tease a little guy like that. Bu++holes. Tsk.

Love pink!! Very much a girly girl. My daughter wears pink all the time however my son doesn't. I wouldn't dress a boy in pink at all but maybe that's just me.

Pink is one of my favorite colors. I wear quite a bit of pink and my bathroom used to be done in pink. I also think pink looks quite handsome on some guys (shirts).

So NOT a girly girl here, either!! However, I love bright pink, purple, lime green, orange, yellow, "robin-egg blue".....all those fun colours. In fact, I've asked hubby to paint my scrapbook room for my birhtday. I want each wall a diff colour. Robiin egg blue, orange, lime green, and bright yellow.
It's funny, most of my home is very "earthy" colour, but something inside of me screams P-I-N-K!!

I like pink but I don't love it. Well, I like a dark pink--magenta is probably my favorite color, and I love red. I'm really liking green lately too. I think in America the most common favorite color is blue. I have to say I'm not a big blue fan.

I like pink it doesn't like. I am very ruddy in my complexion. I like blues the best.

I think I have 1 pink shirt, DD has a few of them... we wear them because they are there but we don't go hamper diving to make sure they get in the next wash

I think pink is a beautiful color, just not one that works well in my little world. We have comforters that have pink in it, not as the main color. I also painted 2 of DD's walls an icy pink to contrast 2 deep burgundy walls. It doesn't -look- pink, but DD knows it is, and she keeps trying to hang posters on those 2 walls

I have never seen the Old Man in anything pink... at all... ever.
