Pink

Pink is the color of universal love. Pink is a quiet color. Lovers of beauty favor pink. Emotional love of self and others, friendship, affection, harmony, inner peace, has both fire and air elements. Gentle, Casual and Approachable.

Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies. Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence. Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behaviour.
