A short-ish history of the color pink | via nolisoliph
Just like its parent color, fuchsia is also named after a flower. That flower was named after a botanist because as St. Clair’s research proves, what is the study of color but mostly an accumulation of attempts in history to reproduce colors in nature.
German physician and botanist Leonhard Fuchs is revered in the field for trying to create a garden where all flora from all over the world is grown. Remember, this is pre-globalization. His illustrated book “De historia stirpium commentarii insignes ,” published in 1542, successfully cataloged 400 wild and 100 cultivated species thanks to his garden.Shocking pink
“Shocking” may be the last word one would use to describe the paleness of pink compared to red. But Italian couturier Elsa Schiaparelli, after seeing a 17.47-carat diamond worn by a client, was convinced she was shocked by the purity of its rose color. So much so that she made her first perfume in the said color and named it “Shocking.”
There are many other instances in popular culture when women and other marginalized groups utilized pink to gain attention and raise awareness. Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” comes to mind—wrapped in her iconic pink dress as she told the world that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Pink is also the color of the movement to raise awareness about breast cancer.
. It was also called Millennial pink. Yes, millennials are deeply misunderstood and scapegoated for most of humanity’s problems, in my opinion.
