	Pink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pink is a color made by mixing red and white and sometimes described as being a light red, but it is more accurately a bright undersaturated red.
		"Pink" was not a color word known to Shakespeare: it was invented in the 17th century to describe the light red flowers of pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus, possibly named from the "pinked" edges of their petals appearing to have been cut with pinking shears.
		Pink is also associated with homosexuals and bisexuals, often in the form of a pink triangle.
