National pink Day is observed annually on june 23 and explores everything that it stands for while illuminating the globe in vivid pink hues.
The verb "to pink" dates back to the 14th century and implies "to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern." It would have been interesting to see pink employed in mediaeval décor or textiles. However, it was occasionally observed in religious art and women's attire. The colour pink, which is connected to Christ's body, was occasionally used by artists in the 13th and 14th centuries to depict the Christ child.
During the Renaissance, artists typically employed pink to depict the flesh colour of hands and faces. However, the Rococo Period (1720–1777) was the heyday of pink. During this period, pastel hues gained popularity in all of Europe's courts. Indeed, the mistress of king Louis XV of France, Madame de Pompadour (1721–1764), was famous for her use of pink, frequently paired with pale blue. Ms. Pompadour once had a specific shade of pink specially created for her.
In 19th-century England, little boys wore pink ribbons or embellishments. In England, men wore red uniforms, and boys wore pink since they were viewed as tiny men. The colour "Shocking Pink" was first used in 1931, and during the 20th century, pink got progressively bolder, brighter, and more aggressive. Pink is one of the most prevalent flower colours, drawing in the birds and insects needed for pollination.

In reverse chronological sequence, the word and colour pink have been used for a variety of purposes, beginning with modern pop culture. Steven Tyler sings, "Pink on your lover's lips / 'Cause pink is the love you discover…" in the Aerosmith song "Pink," which was recorded in the 1990s. This is one example of how the colour has come to be associated with romance and femininity. Unbelievably, though, pink was formerly thought to be a "stronger" colour than blue and was worn by boys in infancy. That was the way things were prior to the 1940s.
