In fact the term pink is often considered it's own color.
Yeah, more of a shade of red and more like its own color.  I wonder why pink feels more like its own color than dark red.
I really like the color red, its been my favorite color since i was a little kid. Oh, that's nice. Are you familiar with color psychology? It studies how hues affect human behavior. No, but that sounds interesting. Red hues can range from yellowish scarlet to bluish crimson, or pale pink to dark burgundy. Do you have a favorite? My favorite is a light pink but thats kinda far from the color red. its just a different shade.
The ''pink'' is often considered to be a basic color term on its own.
