'''Pink''' is a color that is a pale tint of red and is named after a flower of the same name. It was first used as a color name in the late 17th century. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity and romance. A combination of pink and white is associated with chastity and innocence, whereas a combination of pink and black links to eroticism and seduction.

==Etymology and definitions==
The color pink is named after the flowers, pinks, flowering plants in the genus ''[[Dianthus]]'', and 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" (possibly from German ''[[pinken]]'' = to peck).

==In nature and culture==
Pink is often associated with the concepts of femininity, love, and romance in many cultures. However, in the 19th century, pink was considered a color more appropriate for boys, while blue was considered more appropriate for girls. This began to change in the early 20th century.

==In science and technology==
In the 20th century, the technological advances of pink could be seen in the society. These took the color out of the solely romantic context. Pink became a popular color for items and places that wanted to show a modern look.
