Answer 1

If it's in a box of crayola crayons...then it's a color!

Small useless fact...sometimes they paint the inside of the opposing team's locker room pink because it has a calming effect on people. Helps so they don't get too riled up before the game! (Also, if they lose, it will calm them down so they don't trash the place on the way out)

Answer 2

Answer 14

Pink is a natural color made by mixing red and white. It can be described as a light red, but it is more bright, undersaturated red. Pink can also be used to describe other colors, including some that are actually shades of magenta rather than red, such as fuchsia pink, Hollywood cerise and shocking pink. Some shades of pink such as Persian pink are actually shades of rose. Some shades of pink are actually shades of orange, such as coral pink. There are many different shades of pink. Thus, the term Pink may be used in general to describe a wide range of light orange, light red, light rose, and light magenta colors.

I too think pink is a shade of red with white added.  What other explanation could there be?

Answer 20

Technically shade means to add black to a hue and tint means to add white to a hue.  Hue is the name given to a color.  So if you add white to red it would be called a tint.  So technically speaking "shade" is the incorrect definition.
