I refused to wear pink for years and years, but then one day I noticed that I had amassed a closet full of pink shirts, and boom! a new era began. I like pink with brown very much, but also pink with green and pink with orange. It’s a more versatile color than it gets credit for–there are so many different kinds of pink, from girly ballet pink to screaming bright fuchsia. It’s a color with many moods.

But I couldn’t answer the “pink or red?” question. They’re apples and oranges, different, separate. I need them both in my life.

I with you…I like them both. In my knitting, I lean heavily towards the red. However in my store bought clothing I lean toward light pinks.

Sometimes I crave a good read that isn't too mentally taxing or leaves me pondering my place in the universe. This sounds like it would fit the bill.

I'd comment on the red versus pink thing, except I'm neither. I'm all for blues, greens and purples.

I just love pink, which is an unusual statement for me. When I was growing up, I HATED pink. I couldn't stand the shade. Icky!. Then, when I was three weeks (weeks, mind you) pregnant with my daughter, I started craving pink stuff. I would only wear pink, I ate pink food, you name it, I was pink. Needless to say, I was very relieved to find out a few months later that I was having a girl!

I still like pink, but I'm not (quite) so obsessive about it. I wonder if I'll have the color craving thing if I get pregnant again?

You are so right. Red is red and pink is pink. I love both though I’ve tended toward pink because it looks really nice on me. But I’ve been on a red trend lately. I have some gorgeous red silk that is begging to be something from Victorian Lace Today.

I *love* pink, and as much as a love red too – pink suits me better. I don’t think I’d be able to choose between the 2 of them.

That book does sound like an interesting read!
