110-COLOR PINK - Lecture Traditional Cache

This will be a series of 9 groups, each have 3 parts for a total of 27 caching hides.  The Title of the series is Lessons in Color.

In developing this Series, I was prompted to actually research what do the colors really mean. I have always like etymology, but more than that, I like the phrases, idioms and expressions that really have their roots from something more than just commonplace current day usage.

You are looking for a film canister.

This is not intended to actually be complete by any means since most words have meanings rooted deep in history that may have changed through the years and also crosses cultures in their meanings.….this has been just a method for developing a new hiding series for our area (that will be a little unusual).

I, the CO, am the lecturer and the leader of this field trip down Highway 63 in Union County.  The family PEZ has agreed to provide my students for this adventure.  At the end of each group will be my party planner to provide the final color connection who may provide treats or favors to take home or just to take it easy.

There will be some differences but also sameness.  The camo and visibility will be different and finding should be very easy so just enjoy the idea.

So, here we go……………By the way----at the bottom will be other information you might be interested in.

There’s more to PINK that one would think since most think it’s just a pale red color. It is most commonly associated with femininity, sensitivity, tenderness, childhood and the romantic.  However, when combined with violet or black, it is associated with eroticism and seduction.    PINK is named after the flowers called PINKs.  The name derives from the frilled edge of the flowers—the verb “to PINK” dates from the 14^th century and means “to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern” and continues today with the hand tool known as PINKing shears.

During the Renaissance, PINK was mostly used for the flesh color of faces and hands. While PINK was quite evidently the color of seduction in various paintings, it also has an opposite meaning in some others symbolizing childhood, innocence and tenderness.  In 19^th century England, PINK ribbons or decorations were often worn by small boys; boys were simply considered small men and while men in England wore red uniforms, boys wore PINK. In Nazi Germany, inmates of concentration camps who were accused of homosexuality were forced to wear a PINK triangle and because of this, the PINK triangle has become a symbol of the modern gay rights movement.

Certain meats start out as red but when heated or undergoes some kind of curing or transformation process, molecules change and it becomes PINK.  Shells and flesh of crustaceans contain a PINK pigment that turns color when cooked. Some fish flesh contains certain pigments that are naturally PINK; others are fed certain additives that improves their PINKness.

PINK is a most common color of flowers, serving to attract the insects and birds necessary for pollination but also to deter predators.  PINK is one of the rare colors with no negative associations but it is also one of the least popular colors.

Early PINK buildings are usually built of brick or sandstone. PINK is the color most associated with sweet foods and beverages and strongly associated with a particular aroma. Strawberry-flavored foods are colored PINK to distinguish them from cherry-flavored. At one time, PINK was for boys and blue for girls but that changed in the late 19^th century with blue for boys associated with seriousness and study and PINK for girls associated with childhood and softness and in the 50s became more strongly geared toward femininity but still not as rigid or universal as it is today.

PINK – the watered-down red is sometimes used negatively to describe a person with mild communist or socialist beliefs. Some feminist groups use PINK as their color. Code PINK is American women’s anti-globalization and anti-war group.
