Pink is one of the most delicate, most romantic and most sentimental colors. This is true, because in our minds it is associated with the dawn, a fresh blush, the sophistication of rose petals, a ripe peach. If you subject pink to spectral analysis, it becomes clear that in fact it is not an independent color, but only one of the shades of red, in which an admixture of blue is sometimes visible. You will not believe it, but in some languages and cultures, until some time there was not even a word that would speak of this shade. But over time, views have changed and today everyone understands that pink is very different from red. Pink is gentle, soft, touching, while red is sultry, passionate, inciting to some impulsive actions. In accordance with this, the interior in pink will be perceived quite differently from red.
Color psychology of pink and features of its perception
“If a solution in a pastel pink color, as if faded, close to peach, is chosen for the bedroom interior, then men will also be happy to be in this room, enjoying the comfort of the atmosphere”
The first and main association that is inextricably linked with a pink tint is femininity. He is subconsciously perceived as girlish, puppet, toy, cute, so it’s not at all surprising that men frankly turn away from him. Naturally, they will oppose the appearance of pink not only in the men's bedroom, but also in the matrimonial one. But in the kitchen or living room, men can perceive it more calmly, especially if there is little pink and its brightness is muted or diluted with other colors.
Muted pink is less annoying because it is more gentle and affectionate. He seems to envelop with spiritual warmth, soothes and “strokes”. If a solution in a pastel pink color, as if faded, close to peach, is chosen for the bedroom interior, then men will also be happy to be in this room, enjoying the comfort of the atmosphere.
Bright enough, but not defiantly flashy pink gives rise to a feeling of carelessness. This is the color of childhood. Women are not able to resist this influence. In such a pink room, they feel like girls, with their inherent frivolity, carelessness, openness to the world. From the point of view of experts, it's just great. The pink interior will become a real oasis of psychological comfort for women who are in constant emotional stress. In the "cocoon" of pink walls, they can fully relax and forget about the hardships of everyday life and the burden of everyday worries.

Knowing about this quality, American psychologists recommended that the interior of cells in prisons be made exclusively in pink, insisting that in this way it is easiest to save prisoners from bouts of aggression and dissatisfaction.
Cookies and cakes will sell better if they are packaged in pink packaging. Marketers are well aware of this and use this effect to the fullest. The secret is that pink makes you want to taste sweets. These tones are associated with lollipops, berries, creams, confiture. Such a gastronomic streak has made pink colors popular in kitchen interiors. Restrained pink dining room improves appetite.
