A combination of red and white, pink contains the need for action of the color red, helping to achieve the potential for success and insight offered by the color white.

Pink Fun Fact: The color pink is named after the flowers called pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus. The name derives from the frilled edge of the flowers – the verb “to pink” dates from the 14th century and means to “decorate with a perforated or punched pattern.”
In the 20th century, pinks became bolder, brighter and more assertive, in part because of the invention of chemical dyes which did not fade. In optics, pink can refer to any of the colors between bluish red (purple) and red, of medium to high brightness and of low to moderate saturation.
Since pink falls between red and magenta, one must say pink is a lovely hue. For a knock-out pair of off the chart high heeled shoes, only pink heels and platforms will do!
