I think a big fear of Pink these days is that is was so over done in the prepie 1980's. Seems like everywhere one turned somebody was wearing a pink Izod golf shirt with something black. Then when the prepie thing died so pink.
Sort of the same as the 70's disco think.
IMHO it is still a wonderful color, sort of reminds me of the peppermints my dutch grandmother always had on hand.
