pink
Flushed cheek shade
Pink is a color intermediate between red and white.
It has strong associations with femininity and with baby girls, and it’s also common in flowers, of which one family (Dianthus) is called pinks.
If you’re in the pink, you’re in good health – this is perhaps with reference to the perception of a white person’s healthy skin color.
Pink is sometimes used to disparage political views that are thought to be too left leaning.
To pink fabric (a different word) is to add decoration to the edge or border of it, perhaps cut with pinking shears.
