Learning to Love Pink

If you’re a man, getting beyond the classic color-think of "men like blue and women like pink" may require a leap of faith. But guys, be courageous! Your "softer side" is sexy, and women view men who’re comfortable with pink as self-confident. And in many shades, pink is not a namby-pamby color. It can be empowering, stimulating or just plain fun.

Ready to be in the pink? Select the pink shade you like most and find out what it means. If you have a strong aversion to a certain pink, click on that one, too. You never know: you may discover some benefits of pink that will help you turn the corner. Remember, you don’t have to surround yourself with pink for it to do its decorating magic. A pink pillow, candle, chair or vase full of fresh flowers will each do the trick.
