The Shocking Truth About the Color Pink

Parisians are not afraid to use the color pink. Look at this gorgeous door somewhere in Paris that remains striking, albeit one might think it is ready for a new coat of paint. (it’s not) For centuries Europe has embraced the hues that signal the end of their days in sunsets, the fresh cut flowers bought weekly to grace their tables and the macarons that…well are just French. So why are so many people afraid to use this color in their decor?

Apparently Mexico is not shy either to lay it on thick with our Friday Favorite. Enough about these accepting countries, back to the rest of us. Here it is, the reason pink is hush hush, ….we are afraid to admit we love the color pink! Which brings us to the guys in our lives. The ones who really have it going on like pink. Yep. Guys look good in pink, they know it, they wear it…they just don’t want to talk about it. Look at these guys we spotted showing off in pink and some suggestions of the shades designer’s love. Names have been changed to protect the innocent but you can find them at Benjamin Moore.
