What this color evokes
Pink is dawn, the peony, the cheek that flushes: a red softened by white, which keeps the warmth without the abruptness. Seeing it often, or feeling drawn to it, evokes a wish for a tenderer world and a more forgiving view of yourself.
The site assigns pink the number 8, that of success and steady strength, by a correspondence of tradition, as if to recall that gentleness also takes solidity. If pink keeps you company in your weeks, look for what you could soften, a word, a demand, a habit that is too harsh on yourself.

It is heard more as an invitation to gentleness, tenderness, or forgiveness. Pink is also the color of seasonal flowers and of end-of-day skies, which the eye readily picks out. Keep what it awakens in you.
Why is pink linked to joy in the Catholic Church?
Where custom allows, pink is worn two Sundays a year: Gaudete during Advent and Laetare during Lent. These two days mark a joy in the midst of waiting, between two seasons of contemplation. Versana reports this liturgical custom without extending it to other traditions.
