I really like the color pink. I have many pink shirts and like to eat pink cotton candy. Do you like pink?
I'm not a big fan of pink, but it's interesting that it only began to be used as a color name in the late 17th century. 
Really? I wonder what the shade was called before then. Perhaps light red?
Well Homer described the color as pale rosy red, or soemthing to that effect in the Odyssey.
I see. I find it interesting that pink used to be considered a masculine color. People would dress boys in pink and girls in blue. Now it is the opposite!
Wow that is really interesting. I wonder why and how it changed. Maybe they felt it wasn't a good seasonal color for boys like what they do in those color analysis things for each season.
Yes I have a feeling clothing companies started advertising pink clothes for girls and it caught on. Who knows, maybe it will switch back again.
Yeah that is a possibility. I mean they made the color represent breast cancer awareness seamingly overnight. 
Very true. That is a common association today. I have seen men in pink dress shirts on occasion so there are still some who view it as masculine. 
It is a nice color. I like seeing those pink ribbons all over during the month of october. I guess if I see a pink shirt on a buff guy it'd probably look pretty masculine.
