National Pink Day 2021: 16 Quotes To Celebrate The Vibrant Color

It's National Pink Day. So, lovers of the pale shade of red have a reason to enjoy all things pink on this day.

Observed annually on June 23, National Pink Day is simply a celebration of the color pink. It's not to be mistaken with International Day of Pink, which is observed as a response to transphobic and homophobic bullying.

The origins of the word pink to describe pale red can be traced back to the 1700s when a class of flowers was called "the pink." In the olden days, it was seen as a "stronger" color compared to blue and was reserved for boys. Eventually, the color became a symbol of femininity and softness.

Both men and women can choose to wear something in pink today to break all preconceptions about the color.

To celebrate this vibrant color, let's have a look at some quotes about the color pink. (Courtesy, Kidadl, Version Weekly and Brainy Quote)
