Pretty in Pink: The Colour of the Month

In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we take a look at the colour pink, what it symbolizes and look to pink décor for inspiration.

 

The color pink represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing.  In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color inspiring warm and comforting feelings, giving a sense that everything will be okay.

 

October has become synonymous with all things PINK, everyone shows their support to Breast Cancer Awareness & Research by sporting the color pink. All kinds of products, clothing items, and promotional packaging have been designed specifically for this month.  We’d like to encourage you to do your part in support of PinkDrive which is a mobile breast check unit that travels to semi-urban and urban areas around South Africa with the aim of enabling various disadvantaged communities access to education, physical examinations and how to do breast self-examination. 

 

This is how you can get involved with supporting these events during October:
