Pink = Feminine
does anyone know why pink should be regarded as a feminine colour? where does this symbolism originate from? --Cap 01:52, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Pink = yellow?
The article mentions the origins of the word "pink" as "invented in the 17th century to describe the light red flowers of pinks". However, in 17th-century treatises on painting, it's classified as a yellow, as in Polygraphice, 1673 (PDF; reference on p. 96 [p. 26 of the PDF]) or a green, as in A Book of Drawing, Limning, Washing, etc., 1652 (PDF; reference on p. 38 [p. 40 of the PDF]).

With this in mind, what's the basis for the claim that it was invented to describe the color to which it now applies, and are there any extant 17th-century sources supporting it?

Pink vs. Magenta: Shades or Colors
So... Hello fellow Wikipedians! You might or might not have known about my edit which was basically changing from "color" to "shade [of red]". My edit was quickly reverted and I went to the Teahouse where they told me to go get a source, which I did! My arguments are: 1. Magenta is a secondary color according to the RGB/CYMK color scheme/wheel and Pink is a tertiary color, which the tertiary colors contain: Colors (Orange, Purple, Pink) and Shades (Chartreuse Green, Spring Green). 2. The F****NG fact that Pink is a shade is literally in the article description, quote "Pale tint [aka shade] of Red". If that doesn't prove it, I don't know what it is! Goodbye fellow Wikipedians!

P.S.: Not related to the Pink/Magenta soon-to-be argument, but we shouldn't have a Austro-Hungarian flag. Like, ever again. 2001:8A0:DF58:401:AD25:4D6B:E599:6BF8 (talk) 14:44, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
