8	->''"I'm always in a pink mood!"''
9	-->-- '''Franchise/{{Barbie}}''', ''WebAnimation/BarbieLifeInTheDreamhouse'' episode "The Upgradening"
10
11	For many modern cultures, the color [[pink:pink]] has become the color meaning femininity, in all its forms. This means that the more feminine a woman is the more likely she is to wear pink in fiction. It's also why it's thought girls appreciate pink things more than other colors.
12
13	The form of the pink is best done with elegant clothing (like the walls on her bedroom and the furniture), but even something "manly" being colored pink would count for this trope. Heck, even a dress that's not normally pink, like a FairytaleWeddingDress, could be either colored pink (for being non-[[VirginInAWhiteDress traditional]], but still feminine), or have pink trimmings (usually in the form of a bouquet with pink flowers). A woman wearing sexy pink clothes can look [[LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine naughty and nice]] at the same time.
14
15	This trope is NewerThanTheyThink. Pink is a shade of red, and red (being the color of blood) was considered masculine (although this hasn't always been the case; though pink as a feminine colour is recent, a LadyInRed is OlderThanDirt). [[TrueBlueFemininity Blue was the feminine hue]] (because it was associated with the Virgin Mary), and still is in some parts of the world.
16
17	The strong association of pink and a girly sort of womanhood makes this a delicate trope to navigate. For instance, a {{Tomboy}} will refuse to wear pink and her opposite, the GirlyGirl, will insist on it. A favorite twist is to bring the "feminine and delicate" connotations into hard contrast with an ActionGirl's rough, tough, and indelicate career. Expect the GirlyBruiser to wear pink while kicking ass. RealMenWearPink also plays on the contrast (often humorous) which comes up when a "manly" man is shown to enjoy "girly" pursuits.
18
19	By the way, this can include any shade of pink, even those that cross with other colors (like fuchsia, a purple and pink color). This is why the GracefulLadiesLikePurple trope exists.

52	[[folder:Advertising]]
53	* A commercial for Navy Federal Credit Union shows a tough-as-nails [[SemperFi marine]] describing the NotSoDire situation of walking into the rough situation of...his daughter painting her new bedroom pink. He's uncertain at first, but rolls with it.
54	--> "So she's [[PrincessPhase a princess]]. You got a problem with that? OO-RAH!"
55	* In ''Advertising/TalesOfTheRoad'', the female characters in the two "Boy" ads are designated by their pink shirts. The one "Girl" add instead opts for TrueBlueFemininity.
56	[[/folder]]
57
58	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
59	* ''Manga/BlackButler'''s Lizzy on more than one occasion makes the manor look like a dragon puked pink all over the inside. Also, when Ciel crossdresses, he wears an absurd amount of pink.
60	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has Rangiku Matsumoto who wears a pink scarf and is very girly.
61	* ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'':
62	** Sylia Stingray, the brilliant if flighty and eccentric leader of the Knight Sabers - whose day job is running a clothing outlet - uses this trope to humiliate her tomboyish singing biker teammate Priss Asagiri by forcing Priss to wear and be photographed wearing an ugly pink dress when Priss loses a bet with her, much to the amusement of everyone else (it made more sense in the original Japanese version than in the English dub). Naturally, this came back to bite Sylia and the team in the ass when Sylia's ugly secrets came out, prompting Priss to tell Sylia and the team to go to Hell and leave them for a short spell.
63	** Pink is a prominent color in Nene's hard suit. 2040 indicates that she and Linna have some pink unmentionables.
64	* Dola, the leader of the {{Sky Pirate}}s in ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'', likes pink and has long hair in GirlishPigtails.
65	* ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'': Common for the [[AngelicAliens Baam-seijin]] women.
66	** Princess Erika wears a pink dress after being rescued from Earth and taken back to the Undersea Castle.
67	** Margarete wears pink robes and a sash, even in her youth.
68	** Raiza's clothes shirt and skirt are pink. This doubles with PinkIsErotic as she's the show's MissFanservice.
69	* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', Nezuko, a former YamatoNadeshiko turned CuteMonsterGirl, wears a pink kimono, a pink hair tie, and also has [[TechnicolorEyes pink eyes]] that become larger and clearer after her transformation into a [[CallAPegasusAHippogriff demon]].
70	* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'':
71	** All of the chosen girls' ''Anime/{{Digimon\|Adventure}}'' have pink heavily featured in most of their forms. Sora's Yokomon and Biyomon are both pink all over, though the Champion and Ultimate forms change to red/maroon. Mimi's Palmon has a pink flower for hair while her Ultimate form, Lillymon, is entirely pink, as is her Mega form Rosemon. Kari's Gatomon isn't pink in any of her early forms but Angewomon has a pink shawl and her Heaven's Charm attack creates a heavenly wave of pink energy. One of her Mega forms, Magnadramon, is also a pink dragon. Plus the crests of Love and Light (Sora's and Kari's) are represented by rose pink and pale pink respectively.
72	** The more feminine a human girl is, the more heavily pink will be featured in her design. Mimi wore a pink hat in ''Adventure'' and dyed her hair pink in [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 the sequel series]]. Kari wore pink pants in ''Adventure'' and wore a pink top, gloves and boots in ''02''. Suzie from ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' wore a pink cheongsam-style vest. Zoe in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' wore pink clothing in both human and Digimon form. Even [[{{Tomboy}} Sora]] wore an all-pink outfit in [[Anime/DigimonAdventure2020 the remake]] as a subtle foreshadowing of her GirlinessUpgrade per canon.
73	* From ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' Shizuka's signature colour is pink, and in most places she is represented by the colour pink. Also her regular dress is pink.
74	* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasNewDinosaur'' have Nobita becoming the owner of a pair of dinosaur twins of different genders, named Kyu and Myu, which are respectively born green and pink. Go on, guess which colour is the girl.
75	* In ''Manga/DragonBall'':
76	** Chi-Chi's armor is blue. Her boots, gloves, and helmet are pink.
77	** Mai is the only female member of Pilaf's group and uses a pink Pilaf machine.
78	** Gine and Fasha, the two female Saiyans who had been part of Bardock's team, both wore pink.
79	* In ''Manga/DragonQuestTheAdventureOfDai'', Leona and Maam wear pink.
80	* In ''Animation/FloweringHeart'', while all the girls are girly to some degree, Jean is the only one explicitly interested in feminine things, and her hair and outfits are pink.
81	* Rabbit Team from ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' paints their M3 Lee pink prior to their training match against St. Gloriana Women's Academy for this reason. They switch back to green for the National Tournament, with the only pink remaining being their KillerRabbit logo.
82	* In the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise, there are multiple examples of female pilots whose mobile suits have pink paintjobs and/or pink pilot suits. It's not true of every female pilot, but enough to be notable. Some of the notable examples of this include [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED the Strike Rouge]], whose suit takes on a pinkish hue when its Phase Shift armor is active, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Lacus Clyne]], who wears a pink flight suit, her replacement Meer Campbell, who is ferried around in a pink ZAKU Warrior and [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Kirara]], who controls a pink Gerbera Tetra.
83	** Also, in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', Relena was given a pink limousine by her parents.
84	* ''Anime/HelloSandybell'': Sandybell usually wears pink and white clothing, and her signature outfit is a hot pink outfit with blue ruffles and a white apron. In contrast, AlphaBitch Kitty usually wears blue.
85	* ''Anime/IdolDensetsuEriko'': She wears a pink Sensual Spandex dress as an idol. Even the bows in her hair are pink, and her room has pink walls and her default outfit is a pink and white striped shirt.
86	* ''Anime/IsabelleOfParis'': Isabelle's {{Ojou}} dress is mainly white but has pink highlights. Her Versailles dress also has a [[https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Isabelle_Laustin?file=Isabellefainted.png pink ribbon]].
87	* ''Anime/JeanieWithTheLightBrownHair'': The titular Jeanie has long blonde hair tied into bunches held by red ribbons, and wears a pink dress with a white apron.
88	* ''Manga/{{Lady}}'': Lynn Russell's default outfit is a little pink dress with a frilly white apron, and pink shoes. The bows in her hair are also pink as are most of her dresses.
89	* PlayedWith throughout the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' franchise: the title character herself, a rather feminine young woman, has pink as the default color of her magic... which she usually uses to deliver [[DefeatMeansFriendship a world of pain to her prospective friends and family]]. Then, we have Signum, a LadyOfWar who sports [[LongHairIsFeminine luscious waist-long]] pink hair... and is widely regarded as the manliest character in the series. Lastly, Caro Ru Lushe, whose hair ''and'' magic are pink... is a GirlyGirl (and one of the most obviously heterosexual ones in this [[HoYay Les Yay]]-laden franchise, to boot), merrily playing this trope straight, even though she can summon a skyscraper-sized dragon.
90	* In the ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' art and series, Emmeraude's outfit is white, and Alcyone's outfit is red. In ''Anime/RayearthOVA'', their outfits are pink.
91	* ''Anime/MischievousTwinsTheTalesOfStClares'': Patricia wears her hair in a ponytail with a pink scrunchie, and Isabel wears her hair down with a hot pink hairband.
92	* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''
93	** Sakura has pink hair
94	** Pre-timeskip Tenten wears a pink blouse.
95	** Temari's first outfit is pink.
96	** Haku also wore a pink kimono when he found Naruto in the forest.
97	* ''Anime/PersiaTheMagicFairy'': Persia wears pink sailor senshi outfit with white highlights, with a heart at the chest point and a hot-pink skirt.
98	* Though one of the more tomboyish cast members of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', Misty's got enough of a [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak girly streak]] to rock a pink cardigan in ''Anime/Pokemon2000''.
99	** Before the concepts of Shiny Pokémon and gender differences were introduced, the Pink Butterfree was created with this trope in mind, as otherwise she would look exactly like all the other Butterfree. With Ash's Butterfree, she forms a BlueBoyPinkGirl dynamic. The movie ''Anime/PokemonIChooseYou'' and the final episode of ''Anime/PokemonJourneys'' finally depict her with the gender difference that mark her as female.
100	* ''Anime/PokemonHeroes'': Annie is the girlier of the villainous sisters and has a pink sleeve on her HellBentForLeather outfit, while the more focused Oakley has a purple one for her outfit (although her personality doesn't quite qualify her for GracefulLadiesLikePurple). Annie also wears a pink dress while traveling through town.
101	* ''Anime/{{Pollyanna}}'': All of Pollyanna's clothes are pink, but she's a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak. She'll gladly wear the colour but enjoys playing rough and her best friend is a boy.
102	* As a "girl power" series, ''Anime/PrettyCure'' loves the color pink, and the main girl of each series will always have ''some'' pink in her outfit. Notably, the girl in pink isn't always a GirlyGirl -- while that was the case [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 in]] [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure some]] [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure other]] [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure seasons]], the [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure earlier]] [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar seasons]] and one of the [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure later ones]] have the tomboy wear pink instead.
103	* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', each girl has a different MagicalGirl costume with its own color scheme that matches their [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow hair and eyes]]. Naturally, Madoka, easily the nicest and most vulnerable of the main cast, has pink as her main color.
104	* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' examines, deconstructs and plays with this trope. The main character Utena is heavily associated with pink, having pink hair, occasionally wearing pink dresses and associated with pink roses. It's one of the very few concessions to femininity in an otherwise Tomboyish character, thus seemingly subverting the stereotype. However, it's played straight and deconstructed as Utena wears pink dresses when she acts/becomes more feminine. The deconstruction comes in that she's wearing pink and acting feminine because people manipulated her into doing so, taking advantage of her naive and trusting nature to subtly force her into a "princess" role. [[DeconstructorFleet Yea it's that]] [[RuleOfSymbolism kind of anime]].
105	** Played straight in the finale with [[spoiler: Anthy who trades her red dress and school uniform for a pink travel suit]]. Unlike above, it's a triumphant moment as she rejects [[LadyInRed the uniform and role that others have forced on her]] for her own outfit.
106	* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
107	** The title character usually wears red, white, blue, and yellow in her fuku, however her "aura" color appears to be pink, as whenever she's using an attack, pink is usually her main color. Her bow is also pink in [[Theatre/SeraMyu the musicals]] and [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon the live-action drama]].
108	** Sailor Chibi Moon's fuku always has pink, not to mention that her hair is pink.
109	** Sailor Jupiter's dominant colour is light green but has pink for an accent colour, possibly since despite being the group's resident {{Tomboy}} she's also the most skilled at the traditionally feminine domestic arts like [[FeminineWomenCanCook cooking]].
110	** It should be noted that in the case of Sailor Moon herself, pink does not ''necessarily'' mean feminine. Sure, there's a reason why [[RealWomenDontWearDresses she's caught some flak from groups that oppose stereotypical femininity]], but compared to some other characters (Naru Osaka, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Neptune) she's somewhat of a tomboy herself, a trait which was particularly alluded to in early seasons.
111	* In ''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats'' (''Kyatto Ninden Teyandee''), Polly/Pururun wears pink armor.
112	* Ichigo Momomiya/Mew Ichigo, the leader of the Mew Mews from ''Manga/TokyoMewMew''.
113	* ''Manga/WeddingPeach'' has the color appearing in several places, from the weapons to {{Transformation Sequence}}s (and that's not even taking Momoko's hair into account).
114	* Kyoko from ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'', both her hair and her usual outfit. It also (along with a strand of IdiotHair) symbolizes her innocence compared to the [[DysfunctionJunction other characters]]; she is the only main character who comes from an intact and relatively normal family.
115	* In ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'', Clow Reed designed the staff that Sakura uses as her MagicWand with a young girl in mind. Even after [[spoiler: Sakura transforms it]], it's still pink. Also, some of her outfits are pink, most memorably the rubber dress-and-pinafore she wore to catch the Thunder Card.
116	* In ''Anime/WhosLeftBehindKayokosDiary'', young Kayoko Nakane wears pink for most of the movie. Even if her civilian clothing isn't pink, she makes up for this with a pink nightdress.
117	* ''Manga/YuGiOh'': The school uniforms of the Domino High School has the BlueBoyPinkGirl dynamic; the girls wear pink blazers with blue skirts, while the boys wear completely blue uniforms.
118	* ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'': Subverted. The female students in Yuma and Kotori's year wear uniforms with the color pink, but the girls in Shark and Rio's year wear uniforms with the color turquoise.
119	* ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'':
120	** Yuzu is one of the girlier versions among her {{Identical Stranger}}s, having two shades of pink as her hair color, a pink Duel Disk, pink shoes, a deck composed of singing fairies with a flower motif, and she even draws a pink light during her Destiny Draw. Coincidently or not, since her school uniform have either a pink necktie or a pink ribbon as an accessory, she wears a pink necktie as part of her NonUniformUniform.
121	** Rin, one of Yuzu's counterparts, is at least as obsessed with the color pink as Yuzu, although she has two shades of green hair. However, all of Rin's clothes include the color pink and her D-Wheel is completely pink and white. Her fondness of the color becomes so convenient when Yuzu happens to borrow some of her outfits and her D-Wheel. This might be justified, since both of them are portrayed to be the most similar counterparts.
122	* In ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'' it's revealed to [[spoiler: fake]] Kuwabara that Hiei has a sister. He calls her ugly and imagines her looking just like Hiei, only wearing pink instead of black. [[spoiler: Made all the more funnier because the audience knows Yukina is Hiei's sister, and Kuwabara doesn't.]]
123	[[/folder]]
124
125	[[folder:Arts]]
126	* ''Art/TheSwing'': The idly beautiful woman at the center of the painting is decked in an elegant pink frock and mounted on the titular swing. She's very much a GirlyGirl, openly flirting with a man below her and ever so delicately throwing her show away.
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
130	* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', Sweet S. is the only female of the main team of Supermen, and her outfit is mostly pink. Her personality is somewhat feminine, as she's the kindest of the Supermen and regularly takes up cooking ([[LethalChef not that her food impresses many people]]).
131	* ''Animation/KungFuWa'': When Tee Yang transforms into Kung-Fu Girl her skin and hair turn pink and wears a pink mini-dress with fuschia and purple accents.
132	* ''Animation/NoonboryAndTheSuper7'' zigzags this. Jetybory is a pink girl who's a total tomboy, and Cozybory is a GirlyGirl who wears pink, but she is more commonly associated with [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]]. However, Kikibory and [=PinkAru=] play this straight.
133	* ''Animation/PakdamPakdai'': GenderInverted with the pink-furred Doggy Don, although [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide he can be pretty feminine nonetheless]].
134	* ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'':
135	** Jalebi, the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple sole female]] of the four main characters, wears a pink dress and earrings.
136	** In the episode "Tutti Frutti", when Samosa goes with Vada to find the mayor's runaway daughter, Tutti Frutti, he goes to the [[SinglePaletteTown entirely pink-colored town]] of Bubblegumpur under the assumption that, since Tutti Frutti is a girl, she would probably want to go somewhere pink.
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Fan Works]]
140	* The Website/NickelodeonFanon series [[http://nickfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Y-Guy Y-Guy]] has Hearty, who's literally a pink heart.
141	* One-off character Maria from ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' wears a pink sweater and hairband.
142	* Young Literature/{{Discworld}} Witch Rebecka Smith-Rhodes, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13797645/36/Strandpiel-Book-Two when fighting off an]] EldritchAbomination, is a little bit put out that the defensive barrier she has called into being is glowing bright pink, as "it's such a ''girly'' colour".
143	* The ''New Look Series'' has several examples of this.
144	** Princess Peach.
145	** The dresses that Peach forces Link to wear.
146	** The girly outfit that Gwen forces Ben to wear in Ben's New Look.
147	* In ''Fanfic/HogwartsSchoolOfPrayerAndMiracles'', Hermione, being depicted as a model of femininity, always wears fetching pink dresses and skirts.
148	* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/288365/fallout-equestria---the-chrysalis Fallout: Equestria - The Chrysalis]]: Sickle is a ''very heavy'' inversion. She's got a pink coat and mane, and is a flat-out [[TheBrute Brute]] who somehow manages to be even less feminine than [[TheLadette Rainbow Dash.]]
149	* ''Fanfic/NewBeginningsSmallville'': When Oliver Queen notices Kara's starship is pink, he assumes its owner must be real girly.
150	-->Clark burst out of the water a minute later with a large pink ship held under one arm.\
151	"Pink? Could your cousin be a little more girly?" joked Oliver.
152	* Nui Harime in ''Fanfic/NaturalSelection'' is the most feminine and girly of the Kiryuin sisters and she's heavily associated with the color pink. She's so dedicated to this trope that she even embroiders her name into Sanageyama's new uniform in hot pink letters and redesigns all the Goku Uniforms at Honnouji to have her pink coloration.
153	* ''Fanfic/CeladonsNewBlossom'' is about Ash being DisguisedInDrag in order to be accepted as Erika's apprentice, since her gym is female-only. As he adapts to his new life as a girl, he starts wearing a lot of pink clothes, accessories and make-up.
154	* ''Fanfic/MiseryLovesCompany'': Thanks to [[HumiliationConga one of Hecate's spells]], Gaz ends up wearing a pink blouse, pink hair ribbons, pink skirt and pink ballet slippers, [[UnwillinglyGirlyTomboy a girly outfit she absolutely hates]].
155	[[/folder]]
156
157	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
158	* In ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'', Honey Lemon's battle suit is largely pink, tying in to her kind and awkward personality. Also, when she first appears in the movie, she demonstrates her "chemical metal embrittlement" experiment, which turns a large ball of tungsten-carbide pink before reverting it into dust. By contrast, [=GoGo=], the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl tomboy to her girly girl]], goes for dark outfits in civilian wear and bright yellow in superheroics.
159	* This trope is less common for Disney princesses than their merchandise would have us believe, but it still shows up in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon now and then:
160	** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'', Cinderella originally plans to wear her mother's pink dress to the ball, which the mice and birds fancy up for her, but the stepsisters rip it to shreds.
161	** In ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', Flora and Merryweather row over what colour Aurora's dress is to be. Naturally, the more feminine Flora insists that it must be pink, though the dress spends most of the film [[TrueBlueFemininity blue]].
162	** Maid Marian's costume in ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'' is pink and [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple lavender.]]
163	** In ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron,'' Eilonwy's skirt is pink.
164	** In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}'', Ariel wears a pink gown to her first dinner at Prince Eric's castle and sleeps in a pink nightgown.
165	** In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast,'' Belle wears a pink dress during the "Something There" sequence.
166	** Megara from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' wears a light lavender-pink dress with a slit on the side with a dark pink sash around the waist.
167	** WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} wears a pink dress to visit the matchmaker while she is given tips about being a HouseWife.
168	** Charlotte [=LaBouff=] from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' is obsessed with the color pink, since she never grew out of her PrincessPhase, and because PrincessesPreferPink.
169	** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', Rapunzel spends most of the film in a [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple lavender]] dress, but wears a pink one in the final scene.
170	** This trope is used for a joke in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. The castle in ''Sugar Rush'' is very pink, much to the annoyance of King Candy (who desperately insists to Ralph that [[BlatantLies it's clearly salmon]]). [[spoiler: It also serves as handy {{foreshadowing}}, since the castle was originally supposed to belong to a girl, Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz.]]
171	* Kim in ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsMovie'' has a pink hair bow and sweater.
172	* After Violet's CharacterDevelopment in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'', her attire starts to include pink, particularly with her headband and top.
173	* Clara from ''WesternAnimation/TheNutcrackerPrince'' has a pink bow and pink [[PrettyInMink fur-trimmed]] winter coat.
174	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei wears a pink shirt, pink socks, a pink watch, shoes with pink laces and soles and carries around a pink ''Tamagotchi''.

177	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
178	* ''Film/TwoHeadedSharkAttack'': BrainlessBeauty Liza and Kirsten (the GirlyGirl half of a TomboyAndGirlyGirl duo) are the only characters who wear any noticeable amount of pink in the movie.
179	* Isabel wears a lot of flattering pink outfits throughout ''Film/{{Bottoms}}'', befitting a pretty cheerleader. In one of the scenes where she isn't wearing pink (the first history class), she's carrying several pink school supplies.
180	* Bond Girl Plenty O'Toole wore bright pink panties with light blue/purple lace when stripped of her purple dress in ''Film/DiamondsAreForever''.
181	* ''Film/FridayThe13th2009'':
182	** Jenna is a gorgeous GirlNextDoor type who wears a pink tank top throughout the film.
183	** HardDrinkingPartyGirl Bree wears pink underwear.
184	* ''Film/HarryPotter'':
185	** Hermione Granger wore an airy pink dress (with a purple sash around the waist) to the Yule Ball in the film adaptation of ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''. It's used to show her make a girl-into-woman Cinderella entrance. Fans were neither happy nor impressed as the dress was clearly stated to be blue in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire the book]], leading to assumptions that the costume designer didn't read the book(s) and thought Hermione was a GirlyGirl.
186	** Hermione again gets a pink dress, albeit of different design, for a brief Christmas Party gathering in the film adaptation of ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince''.
187	* Sharpay Evans of ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' is a drama queen and high school diva who wants everything to be fabulous, which results in a lot of pink.
188	* ''Film/ItsAWonderfulKnife2023'': Winnie is a very feminine girl, and pink's apparently her favorite color.
189	* ''Film/LegallyBlonde'': Elle wears pink to stand out from the rest of the crowd and to emphasise her femininity.
190	* ''Film/MeanGirls''. The Plastics have these rules surrounding the color pink, which they must wear every Wednesday. Tomboy Janis owns nothing pink while AmbiguouslyGay Damian of course has a pink polo shirt.
191	* In ''Film/SusieQ'', Suzie wears a pink evening dress, and her mother comments that she finally got her daughter to wear fancy clothes. Possibly also an ActorAllusion, since in at least one film, Suzie Q was played by Amy Jo Johnson, a former Pink Power Ranger who (for a time) was quite annoyed by her time in pink.
192	* In ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic'' Marta enthusiastically says she wants a pink parasol for her birthday. Maria agrees and says that pink is her favourite colour too.
193	* Glinda's outfit in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.
194	* Janet in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', the sequel ''Film/ShockTreatment'' has her wearing multiple pink outfits until she gets her Little black Dress.
195	** Interestingly the [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShowLetsDoTheTimeWarpAgain remake]] gives her TrueBlueFemininity in order to [[GoodColorsEvilColors dress the heroes in blue and the villains in black]].

199	* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'': Nancy starts off the franchise as a GirlNextDoor type of character and wears pink sweaters and jackets in several scenes, especially before [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass.]] She's also shown to have pink underwear during a brief ToplessnessFromTheBack scene.
200	* Chrissy in ''Film/NowAndThen'' wears a lot of pink outfits, and has a room with pink walls and a pink canopy bed.
201	* ''Film/ScaryStoriesToTellInTheDark2019:'' Ruth is a GirlyGirl who wears pink dresses in almost all of her scenes.
202	* In ''Film/SteelMagnolias'', Shelby's favorite color is pink, and she even wears an elegant, pink skirt and blazer right after her wedding reception.

204	* Liz Toomes in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' wears a dark pink dress for the Homecoming dance.
205	* ''Film/DirtyDancing'':
206	** Baby wears a hot pink dress during her first competitive dance scene with Johnny, and later wears a [[IconicOutfit light pink dress]] at the end of the film.
207	** Likewise, Penny often wears hot pink dresses for various dance competitions.
208	* ''Film/MaVieEnRose'': One sign of Ludovic's gender nonconformity as an assigned male child is a love for pink things, such as dresses or dolls. The film title translated to "My life in pink".

211	[[folder:Literature]]
212	* {{Subverted\|Trope}} in the ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'', in which the eight-foot-tall CuteMonsterGirl Sergeant Taura is told that pink will make her look less intimidating. Because of this, most of her civilian wardrobe is a nearly fluorescent pink that does ''not'' work on her. One of the {{running gag}}s in ''Winterfair Gifts'' is the efforts of the rest of the cast to correct her of this fallacy.
213	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
214	** Dolores Umbridge surrounds herself with pink, even painting the DADA instructor's office the color in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'', to try to cover up her {{Jerkass}} nature.
215	** As well, when the Weasley twins open their shop in Diagon Alley, they have a range of items marketed to girls which are all pink.
216	* April Devereux from ''Literature/HalfMoonInvestigations'' had a "Pink Club", [[spoiler:which turned out to be a cover for a club determined to get girls a good education and will go to any measure to do so.]]
217	* In ''Literature/{{Paranormalcy}}'' by Kiersten White, ActionGirl protagonist Evie has a rhinestone-studded pink taser named Tasey, wears killer pink boots, and refuses to carry a knife until she is given one that is, you guessed it, pink.
218	* A minor running gag in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' books. ''Literature/MonstrousRegiment'' mentions that girls of around seven are magnetically attracted to the color pink, however they feel about it later. Brought up again in ''Literature/MakingMoney'' where Adora Belle Dearheart says that ''every'' girl of approximately eight years of age loves the color pink. This is used to rule out that the Cabinet of Curiosity at Unseen University could have been designed for a little girl, since it contains nothing pink.
219	* The books of ''Literature/AngelinaBallerina'', and its cartoon adaptations, put Angelina in a pink tutu.
220	* Cindy, Chris and Cathy's very girly adopted daughter in the Creator/VCAndrews Literature/DollangangerSeries, notes that "I love pink, really adore pink," and has a bathroom decorated in pink with gold and green accents.
221	* Allriane Cett in ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy'' is frequently described only by her pinkness.
222	* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'': Madge Undersee wears a pink hair ribbon with her white dress to the reaping of the 74th Hunger Games.
223	* In ''[[http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600108024 Danse Macabre: Overture]]'', the narrator remarks that- even offstage- the ballet dancer [[FemmeFatale Collette]] "swathed herself in more baby pink than most parents did their newborn girls."
224	* The protagonist of Creator/RobinJarvis' ''Literature/DeptfordMice'' trilogy, a mouse girl named Audrey, always wears a pink ribbon in her hair.
225	* ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'': Kallen implies that she dropped out of the Royal Academy of Magical Learning because [[DefiedTrope she didn't like wearing the girl's uniform]] which was very pink.
226	* ''Literature/MonsterOfTheMonthClub'': Played to extremes with Sweetie Pie, the pink-furred February Selection, who loves everything pink (including her food).
227	* Invoked in the children's book ''Sugarpink Rose'' - the female elephants are told to eat only anemones and peonies that grow inside a fenced enclosure all of their lives to get and maintain the desired smooth, 'sugarpink rose' colored skin and wear pink booties and ribbons to accentuate their pinkness.
228	* Zia in ''Literature/TeddyAndCo'' is pink all over, save for the black stitches going down her tummy.
229	* In ''Literature/TheWorstThingAboutMySister'', Melissa wears pink and is very stereotypically feminine.
230	* ''Literature/IAmJazz'': Jazz's favourite colour is pink, and she cites that as a sign she's a girl.^
231	* In ''Literature/TalesOfTheMagicLand'', the Rose Land, with pink houses and pink garments, is ruled by the very feminine good witch Stella. Moreover, Stella's guards, all dressed in pink, are an AmazonBrigade.
232	[[/folder]]
233
234	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
235	* ''Series/FellowTravelers'': While pregnant, Lucy Fuller (a traditional 1950s housewife) wears a pink maternity dress where the top half has a floral print of pink roses, and she also accessorizes with pink earrings.
236	* In the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' episode "[[{{Recap/FireflyE04Shindig}} Shindig]]", Kaylee wears a pink PimpedOutDress as part of her PrincessForADay.
237	* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The dress Roose Bolton's men find for Brienne to wear whilst at Harrehal is a very loud shade of pink. She looks like she's just waiting for the opportunity to murder whoever put her in it the entire time she's wearing it. In the books, Jaime surmises it's a form of psychological warfare on Bolton's part. House Bolton is known across the Seven Kingdoms as a House of torturers who get at their victims by playing on their weaknesses, and there's nothing that would infuriate Brienne more than being made to wear not just an ugly dress, but an ugly ''pink'' dress.
238	* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'':
239	** While digging through a box for his cassette player, Daniel Molloy removes a pink teddy bear and a pink bicycle helmet which used to belong to his two daughters when they were children.
240	** Claudia is a girly girl with a pink coffin and some of her clothing is pink (she has at least two different pink dresses, a pink cardigan, pink overalls, a pink-and-white checkered shirt, and pale pink pyjamas).
241	* ''Series/LazyTown'': Stephanie has pink hair, wears a pink headband, and all her clothes are pink.
242	* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': In the penultimate episode of the television series, "Principal for a Day", Miss Brooks is principal for a day of Mrs. Nestor's Private Elementary School. Miss Brooks' decides to make the school more attractive to mothers visiting the school and thinking of enrolling their children; she decorates the school with a lot of chintz. Including the animal cages of the science room. She goes so far as to paint Vice Principal Mr. Munsee's desk and office a "shocking pink".
243	* Played for laughs in ''Series/ThePunisher2017''. Frank Castle goes to steal weapons from an ArmsDealer, only to find the only gun he has in stock is a special order a mob leader requested for his daughter's sweet sixteen: a pink Ruger Mini-14. Frank takes the gun anyway, but he makes it pretty clear that [[PinkIsForSissies he has no desire to use it ever]].
244	* ''Series/{{Readalong}}'': Pretty was a pink shoe, and looked as feminine as a pink shoe can.
245	* Prairie Dawn from ''Series/SesameStreet''. Subverted with Zoe, however - despite wearing a pink tutu, she's a {{Tomboy}}.
246	* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': The Female Changeling wears a flowing pink garment in her humanoid form.
247	* The GirlyGirl in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' shows would usually wear pink (which also influenced similar shows, such as ''Anime/GoLion'', and any parodies, such as the Axem Rangers of ''Videogame/SuperMarioRPG''). Carried over into ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', of course, where Pink Rangers usually get pegged as the GirlyGirl.
248	** Played with in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger''. The gimmick of copying previous Rangers allows them to mix up the GenderedOutfit thing, but pink is easily the rarest colour used by someone else. There was exactly one all-pink morph in the show's run, and that was the ''Gavan'' crossover movie.
249	** The sleep-inducing MonsterOfTheWeek Somnibot in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' wears a pink nightcap and her eyes glow pink for a few seconds in some ''Ohranger'' footage.
250	** Played with in ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'', where Vida the Pink Ranger is about as un-feminine as you can get and was ''pissed'' at getting stuck with the pink suit with the ''pop-out butterfly wings.'' (This is a hilarious reversal of its parent sentai, too, where Magi Pink was {{Kawaiiko}} ''squared.'')
251	** During the latter half of ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' and then ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace,'' the more girly fashion-conscious Ashley is the Yellow Ranger, while the (slightly) more brash, tomboyish musician Cassie was Pink.
252	** Averted in ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce''. Pink is Jen, a badass with a vengeful streak and TheLeader of the team (Red gets the usual standing-in-center privileges because that's the rule, though.) There wasn't a GirlyGirl that year at all. ''Yellow'' is a girl with SuperStrength who loves to use it. However, Katie's more sentimental side comes out a lot more than Jen's.
253	** Played with in ''Series/ResshaSentaiToQger'', where the Rangers are distinguished more by number than colour. They still have 'default' colours but can swap them around, including the default pink and red trading places.
254	** Averted in ''Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger'' with the first pink member of a Ninja-themed Sentai, Kasumi/[=MomoNinger=]. She's actually [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]] of the team, who works on all their technology.
255	** The most complete aversion is in ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'', as it has the first male Pink Ranger in the franchise. He may have ''fewer'' overly-masculine traits than average (he's a RidiculouslyAverageGuy {{Salaryman}} and kind of clumsy in battle -- [[BewareTheNiceOnes unless you hurt his wife]], mind you), but he's not particularly effeminate either.

258	[[folder:Music Videos]]
259	* Music/TearsForFears: For the birthday party scene in the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZvPSpLxCg Mad World]]" music video, the red-haired woman's dress and pom-poms are pink.
260	[[/folder]]
261
262	[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
263	* The original [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-wm.html WWE Women's Championship]] had a pink strap on it, that the {{reviv\|al}}ed [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/fcw/fcw-wm.html FCW Divas' Title]] also is modelled after. The [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-diva.html WWE Divas' Championship]] is also designed pink and the Divas' logo is pink. When they have to promote a Diva's match with a graphic, there's always some pink in the background and the text is normally pink as well.
264	* Mighty Molly (Wrestling/MollyHolly as [[Wrestling/GregoryHelms the Hurricane's]] superhero sidekick) wore a pink and black outfit.
265	* In a way Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart defied this trope whenever she wore pink as it was a reference to her Hart family lineage, whose colors are pink and black. So Nattie never comes across as feminine when she's seen wearing pink ring gear.
266	* Hailey Hatred has complained about this trope, as she loves pink and once randomly expressed desire for an all pink room, which she kept suppressing out of fear it would chase away all the pink hating boys.
267	* When Wrestling/{{CZW}} acquired long term rival Wrestling/{{WSU}}, the locker room section of the later was signified by pink on their website, as WSU had become an all women's promotion by then. CZW is still willing to use pink tape for the ring itself [[DownplayedTrope even when no females are present though]].
268	* When Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} was around everything was red or grey but after it broke off Wrestling/RingOfHonor initially settled on purple when it decided to give the women of honor their own logo, then pink was increasingly used in video packages.[[note]]SHIMMER itself does use pink for the letters on the tag plates but otherwise gold, black, purple and white are its most prominent colors[[/note]]
269	* Wrestling/AllysinKay, a staple of the aforementioned WSU, SHIMMER and [[Wrestling/RingOfHonor WOH]], has at times been muzzled when not in matches, ala [[Literature/RedDragon Hannibal]] [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Lecter]]. This safety precaution differs from his, of course, by being pink.
270	* Davey Richards, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly all took up mouth guards after debuting for ROH but only Wrestling/KellyKlein's was pink, which makes it look like she simply has no teeth when she glowers for poster photos. The actual [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/roh/roh-wm.html ROH Women of Honor Championship]] belt defies this, going for a queenly purple.
271	[[/folder]]
272
273	[[folder:Theatre]]
274	* One female misfit among the protagonists in ''Theatre/MichaelJacksonONE'', Shy, wears pink.
275	* ''Film/SteelMagnolias'' (a stage play [[AdaptationDisplacement before it was a movie]]):
276	-->'''Shelby:''' Pink is my signature color.
277	* In ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'', Glinda wears a pink dress to the Ozdust Ballroom party and in her subsequent bonding scene with Elphaba in Act I ("Pink goes good with green"), in which she sings the ultimate {{Lovable Alpha Bitch}} anthem "Popular". Though surprisingly, unlike in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', pink isn't used as her signature color throughout – in fact her gown that corresponds to the film Glinda's iconic pink one is {{True Blue Femininity}} instead.
278	* Prior to the drastic rewrites in 2018, Pearl the Observation Car from ''Theatre/{{Starlight Express}}'' was decked in pink, complete with long, bright pink hair.
279	[[/folder]]
280
281	[[folder:Toys]]
282	* Franchise/{{Barbie}} has been wearing pink since at least the "Enchanted Evening" doll from 1960, and even has a copyrighted color of "Barbie Pink".
283	%%If there is an earlier doll wearing pink, just replace the name in the above entry with the appropriate one.
284	* In ''Toys/PollyPocket'', Polly doesn't always wear pink, but she is certainly not adverse to wearing pink. Most of her play sets are incredibly pink.
285	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': The body of the original toy release of Princess Celestia in the Hasbro toy line was pink colored and not white as in the show, apparently to appeal to little girls. It was however changed when the [[PeripheryDemographic "bronies"]] complained.
286	* Similarly for the ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' toyline, the Pink Ranger's Triceratops zord was initially indigo in the toyline in an effort to appeal to young boys, despite it being pink in the show. But due to fan outrage [[https://twitter.com/Odot92/status/502590059221364737 it was changed back to Pink]].
287	* In 2013, Toys/NerfBrand started producing and selling a line of pink, white, and purple blasters, called the [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Rebelle Nerf Rebelle]] line. Most of the toys are 'reshells,' using the same internal components of existing toys, just with a much smoother, less rugged or militaristic outer design, such as the [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies Zombie Strike]] "[[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Hammershot Hammershot]]" becoming the "[[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Sweet_Revenge Sweet Revenge]]" or the "[[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Firestrike_%28N-Strike_Elite%29 Firestrike]]" becoming the "[[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Shot Star Shot]]". At least they had the good taste to reshell several of the better, more popular guns to begin with. The only one that can claim much in the way of actual originality is the "[[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Heartbreaker_Bow Heartbreaker Bow]]," but unfortunately it is one of the most ReliablyUnreliableGuns of the product line. The "Secrets and Spies" sub-line retains a more feminine design aesthetic and even includes entirely new, non-reshelled weapons, but favors purple instead of pink and having its main gimmick being red lens decoder darts.
288	* This trope shows up a lot with Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} merchandise. Even though [[http://static8.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_medium/8/84221/1744169-supergirlmatrixflying.gif her costume]] is red, blue, and yellow like Superman's, you'll find a lot of costumes that look like [[http://images.costumeexpress.com/mgen/pink-supergirl-toddler-child-costume-cx-31355.jpg?zm=1600,1600,1,0,0 this]].
289	* ''TabletopGame/{{Clue}}'' gained another female character in 2016, Dr. Orchid (at the expense of Mrs. White), who has a pink ColorMotif.
290	* Flowertchi of ''Franchise/{{Tamagotchi}}'' is pink (in Japan, anyway; she was recolored purple for international releases) and is characterized as being an InnocentFlowerGirl and a CaringGardener.
291	[[/folder]]
292
293	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
294	* ''VisualNovel/TheEdenOfGrisaia'': Makina admits that when she can't settle for a color when buying clothes she always goes for something pink, when [[spoiler:Thanatos]] provides the girls with untraceable black-colored mobiles she complains about the boring color, [[spoiler:Thanatos]] takes note, so when Makine is provided with a sniper rifle, it is colored bright pink, though she admits that this is not exactly what she had in mind.

298	* Popsicley from ''WebAnimation/BrawlOfTheObjects'' is a pink-colored [[note]]Presumably cherry or raspberry flavored[[/note]] ice pop.

300	* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Whitney is a pink-haired girl.
301	** Kayla's ClothingSwitch is a completely pink outfit, right on down to the [[RollerbladeGood rollerblades!]]
302	** Not only is Corla's hair pink, but [[MakingASplash the coral spikes she can create even are!]]
303	* ''WebAnimation/TheMostEpicStoryEverToldInAllOfHumanHistory'': Little Miss Epic is a girly teenager with GirlishPigTails who wears a pink shirt.
304	* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
305	** Neo's color palette is made up of brown, white and pink, as part of her Neapolitan ice cream theme. Her hair is half pink and half brown, she wields a lacy, pink parasol, and her Semblance is colored pink as well.
306	** [[GenkiGirl Nora]] has pink socks, a pink skirt, pink gloves, pink shoe soles... and grenades decorated with pink hearts.
307	* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': Giggles, who's a female girly chipmunk, has a pink fur
308	[[/folder]]
309
310	[[folder:Webcomics]]
311	* In ''Webcomic/AliceAndTheNightmare'', Alice and the rest of Hearts have pink as their ColorMotif. They're described as TheHeart of any deck and the ones responsible for maintaining emotional stability.
312	* In ''Webcomic/AngelMoxie'', Alex's MinidressOfPower is primarily pink (with touches of white and light blue).
313	* ''Webcomic/CrowTime'': Edwin's mother usually wears a pink handkerchief around her neck, and is seen being interested in feminine activities such as cooking and preparing for weddings.
314	* This is true for Myari of ''Webcomic/EarsForElves'', [[http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/610 along with hearts, swirls, flowers, and possibly a butterfly]].[[note]]Elon just wrote an essay.[[/note]]
315	* Subverted in ''Webcomic/BeyondTheEnd''. Honey has pink hair, but she's more known for being one of the few angels willing to talk back to Michael, regardless of rank. She'll actively challenge him to fights.
316	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', judging by [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook.php?id=739 his choice of pajamas]], Elliot has finally gotten used to sleeping in his [[GenderBender female form]].
317	* Zig-zagged in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. Played straight by Roxy and [[PrincessesPreferPink Feferi]], who are both pretty girly, but averted with [[spoiler:Meenah, who is actually a tomboyish Punk]].
318	** [[spoiler:Inverted even further by the Condesce, [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen a sinister alien empress]] who seeks to make the kids' lives hell, and who serves as the deputy of [[BigBad Lord English]].]]
319	* In ''Webcomic/{{Inverloch}}'', thief-catcher Lei'ella has daggers with pink hilts and matching belt. It's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] later when she replaces them with normal-looking ones; turns out her old boss and non-fiance-turned-stalker Berard had them made for her.
320	* In ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'', Wonderita turns down a RingOfPower because [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/06/18/we-cant-have-nice-rings it only makes green things, not pink things]].
321	* Zig-zagged in ''Webcomic/StarImpact''. Lily plays this straight with her GirlyBruiser aesthetic on the whole, but it gets inverted by Urchin, a detestable lout who [[KickTheDog beats up rookies]] [[ForTheEvulz for fun]].
322	* Yeo Goseng and Yeo Miseng from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' wear pink. Though the former is more a jaded snarker, Miseng is a typical little girl.
323	* Subverted in ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'': Yokoka has pink streaks in her fur/hair, but she rarely acts feminine.

326	[[folder:Web Original]]
327	* Website/{{Neopets}} changed the Altador Cup team colours of Faerieland from pink and purple to green and purple/pink to symbolise the land's landing (it was airborne previously), but also to make it less of a "target group 5-year-girls" team.
328	* [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=doki#/d5khpr9 Doki's]] signature color is pink and her pet [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=doki#/d56vzag cat's collar and bow is pink]] and [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=kid#/d4yybki Britani's color is also pink]]. So is [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/art/Vielle-398785245 Vielle]]'s
329	* Subverted by Creator/JamieVsTheVoid, who continued to use shades of pink in his work, even after coming out as [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} transmasculine]].
330	--> '''Jamie in an Instagram post on December 21, 2020:''' Fun fact, I used to hate the colour pink as a kid (to the point where I pretended to have an allergy to it, no joke) because I didn't want to be grouped in with society's idea of a girl. Now I just see it as another cool colour I can play with, without having any gender stereotypes attached. It's just a colour yo. ''(sic)''

334	* On ''WebVideo/KidTimeStorytime'', the video for ''Pink is for Boys'' reveals that Pink Bear has been mistaken for a girl because he's pink.

336	-->"And she's paaaaaaaaaaaaaaank!"
337	** The Makeover Fairy (an AlphaBitch [[TheFashionista fashionista]]) wears nothing ''but'' pink.
338	** For [[http://8.i.blip.tv/g?src=Tgwtgnchick-NostalgiaChickTheWorstAndLeastAwfulFemaleSuperheroMovie994.jpeg&w=460&h=260&fmt=jpg the splash image]] for her video [[http://blip.tv/nostalgia-chick/nostalgia-chick-the-worst-and-least-awful-female-superhero-movies-6316048 about superheroine films]], Chick is wearing a pink LeotardOfPower.

347	* There's an anti-pink campaign run by some people who are sick of girls being "'pinked' to death": [[http://pinkstinks.wordpress.com/ Pink Stinks]]. Here is a [[http://www.rousette.org.uk/blog/archives/the-campaign-against-pink/ synopsis of it]].
348	* An ExploitedTrope use of this is making pink the color for breast cancer research. Although it's not an exclusively female disease, it has helped in getting attention for cancer treatment.
349	* This trope is explained [[http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/colorselection/p/pink.htm here]].
350	* Creator/JayneMansfield loved this color, and had a lot of her house colored pink, and [[PrettyInMink even had furs dyed pink]].
351	* Mary Kay Cosmetics frequently rewards its top salespersons with pink cars. The Mary Kay/pink association was lampshaded in a ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' arc where Opus tries to find his mother among the test animals at Mary Kay's cosmetics labs, but is cornered by the Mary Kay Commandoes: "Even their Uzis are pink!"
