SHOP.CA: Tickled Pink

June 29, 2012 By Lena

To quote Miley Cyrus: “Pink isn’t just a colour, it’s an attitude too!” And did you know….

– Bright pinks, like the color red, stimulate energy and can increase the blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, and pulse rate. They also encourage action and confidence.

– Pink has been used in prison holding cells to effectively reduce erratic behavior.

– The Chinese had not recognized the color pink until they had contact with Western culture, and the Chinese word for pink translates as “foreign colour.”

– In 1947, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color “hot pink” to western fashion. She dubbed the shade “Shocking Pink,” though today the color is more well-known as “magenta.”

– Pastries taste better when they come out of pink boxes or served on pink plates (it only works with sweets). Pink makes us crave sugar. (source: www.sensationalcolor.com) 

So… “Pinking” this hue is right for you?
