It’s no secret that colors influence our mood, incline us to feel more active or more relaxed, stimulate our creativity, help us express feelings, and make us feel certain things when we wear them or are in places where they predominate. The fact that we feel more drawn to some fabrics than others when making our projects has to do not only with the design but, obviously, also with the color. But how much do you know about colors and the effects they have on our psychology? Why do you feel so comfortable with certain shades while others provoke a certain aversion?
Today we’re getting romantic as we talk a little about pink and all its positive implications and connotations, and, what’s more, we’re showing you some of our beautiful fabrics where this color takes center stage.
The psychology of the color pink.
The color pink has a relaxing effect and exerts a softening influence on our feelings, mellowing them and making them kinder. For this reason, we associate this color with innocence, which is why we use expressions like “seeing the world through rose-colored glasses” and why pink is the color associated with romanticism.
All the feelings and sensations associated with the color pink are positive, making it a perfect candidate for creating garments and spaces that convey calm, softness, and sweetness.
Because of all these characteristics, it also has a childlike connotation; it is the color of delicacy and tenderness, of sensitivity and sentimentality. As you know, for a long time it has been “relegated” almost exclusively to girls and women because it was considered contrary to masculinity, although this idea is gradually changing and it’s increasingly common for boys to embrace it.
However, this was not always the case: the custom of using pink for girls and blue for boys became established around 1920. In fact, in earlier periods it was even considered a fairly masculine color.
Besides its innocent and childlike connotation, it also has a certain sensual component.
Put pink in your life.
What’s clear is that it is an extraordinarily positive color that conveys calm, serenity, and a special sensitivity that, through its various shades and intensities, makes it an ideal companion for creating your garments and accessories, decorating interiors, dressing your little ones, and adding feeling and softness wherever you put it.
And you? Are you a pink lover? As you can see from our website, we are. There’s a reason it’s the only color that, psychologically, has no negative characteristic associated with it. Always positive and cheerful, just like everything we do at Lulú Ferris.
