Whoa ... Okay, that pink. Something about that pink.
First: Yes. I LOATHED the color pink when I was a kid. I associated it with "girly shit," which I despised. I distinctly remember being given a pink Barbie car for Christmas one year, while my actually very girly cousin got the blue one. I very carefully -- not wanting to seem ungrateful -- asked if there was some mistake. It seemed unthinkable to me that my family could have gifted a pink toy to me, and a blue one to her.
That was a different shade of pink, though ... A more commercial shade of pink. Baker-Miller Pink ... There's something uniquely yucky about it.
I did a really rather ... Erhm ... "Creative" illustration for a (now former) friend's album art years ago. The background was a shade of pink very close to Baker-Miller. He thought it so off-putting that he used it to color the rest of the CD case. (Yes, it was that long ago, ha!) The creature in the foreground is a shade of off-baby-blue. The color scheme now reminds me of the "pride flag" years before said flag came into being.
It is, but what's weirder is that I just realized while in the shower that I actually meant to type "trans flag." Not sure which is worse. (Both engender paedophilia, so ... Eh.)
Also, I realized this in no small part because it occurred to me earlier today that my bathroom tiles are, in fact, Baker-Miller pink. (1950s construction.)
Purple is very divisive. I love some things in purple — minerals, for example, such as amethyst and fluorite — but there is something very, very off about it in a lot of contexts.
I have had “episodes” in which I was convinced that the color purple was “The Color Out of Space” — some sort of weird, f’d up alien wavelength. I don’t believe that’s true for all purples — and certainly not natural shades — but there might be something to that.
Another odd thing … I bought a purple sweatshirt off of Amazon. It is WAY too purple (I thought it was going to be darker, more like a plum). I wore it to work and this one coworker of mine — who is also involved in some family drama that I don’t feel like getting into — is now convinced that purple is my “favorite color.” I’ve never worn it before, nor mentioned it, nor do I own any other purple things that she would have seen. I usually wear green at work, so that’s a very odd conclusion for her to have come to.
There’s a lot to the concept of color, and its effects … I could go on and on. BTW, have you seen/read/heard the theory that Humans only recently (like, within the past few-odd hundred years) evolved the ability to see colors beyond red/blue/yellow? (Or something like that …)

Something to this.
that pride flag is the ugliest flag ever. They should paint prison walls with that stuff and make everyone wear that ugly purple color

Weird, weird construct we inhabit ...
try a google search Color Pairings & Palettes with baker-miller pink
yeahbut.... you can work with that color. One color of pink is okay with me.
I am a sewist/quilter and my least favorite color is .... some shades of purple.
I like blue, I love Red but purple bothers me. I do not mind working with purple but it is not a color that makes me happy or "brings a spark"
I would not be bothered with a B-M pink tile bathroom. Thee is a lot you can do with that color. --- now you have got me on a mission. Super!!
