How to hunt pink
Spring makes this hunt trivial and winter makes it hard. Out of blossom season, go indoors: bakeries, pharmacies, and clothing shops are full of pink year round. Overcast light suits pink better than sun, which washes it out to near-white.
What pink gets confused with
Rose is pink grown deeper and warmer; coral is pink with orange mixed in; magenta is pink at maximum volume with purple behind it. Plain pink is the soft, unsaturated one.
