On National Pink Day, people wear the color pink, enjoy eating pink food, and donate to charities.
The color pink first came to prominence in the 17th century and is described as a pale red color' The word pink derives from the Dianthus Flower with its 'pinked' petals. Pink was once an ordinary verb meaning "to decorate with a perforated pattern (pinking shears)."
