Definition of undefined

The word "pink" has a fascinating history! The term originated in the 17th century from the flower, which got its name from the ultraviolet light it reflects. The color pink was first mentioned in English in 1588, derived from the Old English word "pink", meaning "flower". The flower, which is also known as the pink shell, has a reddish-pink color due to the presence of anthocyanins. The term "pink" initially referred to the flower, but soon it started being used to describe the color itself. In the 18th century, the word "pink" became commonly used to describe the pale, tender colors of the flower. By the 19th century, the term had evolved to broadly describe a range of colors with a reddish hue. Today, the word "pink" is used globally to describe the vibrant and playful shade we know and love!
