More pink in color; the comparative form of pink, meaning more pale reddish or whitish-red.
From 'pink' (possibly from Dutch 'pinck' or German 'pink,' or from Scandinavian roots). The '-er' suffix forms the comparative degree. The color pink was named after the flower, not the other way around.
The color pink wasn't always associated with girls—in the early 1900s, pink was considered a boy's color and blue was for girls, because pink was seen as a 'strong' version of red!
Pink became gendered feminine only in the mid-20th century; before 1940, it was considered masculine and blue feminine. The reversal was driven by marketing and cultural ideology associating pink with consumer femininity and sexual desirability.
Use as a color descriptor without gender assumption. Avoid gendered color language for children's clothing or toys, which reinforces binary gender stereotypes.
