[[File:Dianthus caryophyllus L (Clove pink).JPG|thumb|Clove pink (''Dianthus caryophyllus'')]]'''Pink''' is a colour often seen as having gay and feminine connotations.

The word came into use in the 17th century, and derives from the flowers of the same name (from the genus ''Dianthus'', some varieties of which are also referred to as carnations).

Conventionally, pink is used for baby girls clothes and blue for boys; however this convention only became established around 1940.
