📜 Origin & History

The concept of standard pink formed between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With the popularization of synthetic dyes, a distinct and unmistakable 'pink' emerged from traditional light reds, becoming a standard member of the color system.

From the 1920s onward, pink gradually became associated with femininity. American department stores began promoting the marketing strategy of 'pink for girls, blue for boys,' a convention reinforced unprecedentedly during the post-WWII baby boom.

In 1953, Audrey Hepburn's pink gown in 'Funny Face' became an icon of the era. Around the same time, stars like Marilyn Monroe made pink a visual symbol of sweet sensuality in Hollywood's Golden Age.

From the 1960s to the 1980s, pink permeated the plastics industry and pop culture. The pink world of Barbie dolls made this color the standard background of girlhood, influencing the aesthetic perception of several generations.

Entering the 21st century, pink has undergone cultural deconstruction and reconstruction. From 'muscle pink' to diverse gender expressions, pink is gradually shedding stereotypes and becoming a more inclusive fashion statement.
