Pink History

1. “Mamie Pink”
   •  First Lady Mamie Eisenhower was pivotal in popularizing the color, which is often referred to as “Mamie Pink” or “First Lady Pink.” Her husband President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent her pink flowers every morning. She re-decorated the private quarters in the White House in pink — so much so that reporters called it the “Pink Palace.” And, the bathroom in her Gettysburg retirement home was pink down to the cotton balls. – Save The Pink Bathrooms
2. Post-War Color Palette
   • After World War II, the color Pink was often paired in a classic postwar color palette with turquoise, chartreuse, and candy apple red.

Pink Color Psychology

In classic Feng Shui, Pink is considered a Fire Color along with Red, Orange, Yellow, and Purple. According to colorpsychology.org, Pink is said to represent feelings of love, calmness, innocence, and optimism.

While it is considered a non-threatening color, it can be viewed as weak, vulnerable, and silly, but the meaning depends on the context in which it is presented.

Pink in the Home

Bathroom

Need to update your guest bathroom? Pink can add a welcoming touch to your high-traffic bathroom. A pigmented Pink wall or backsplash could help hide obvious wear and tear in these shared spaces. Try pairing your Pink palette with a white, grey, or exposed wood cabinet. Because the hue is made up of red and white, certain shades of Pink can be equally as eye-catching as red.
