While I like the color, I love it for nail polish, purses and clothes- scrapping not so much. I feel like almost every kit club out there has pink and flowers as the main colors and components. Even the newly released collections seem to favor pink. I am ready for some bold red, navy blue, hunter green, dark/mustard yellow. pumpkin orange . Bring on fall and the Holiday colors.

I love pink. However, I don't like pink in every single little thing. I'm also excited about the autumn colors, followed by my very favorite Christmas.  |

I don't like to wear certain shades of pink because I have a reddish/pale complexion depending on the day. I loved it up until my daughter was about 12 for her scrapbook pages. Pink and purple were her favorites and now she's into star wars. I also have 2 boys, so yes, I'm very sick of all the pink! It's okay in very small doses.

It's all the florals I get more tired of than the actual pink. Give me plaid, stripes, geometrics.
I can't say I dislike pink but I definitely don't over use it.

After having 2 boys, I dived head first in Love with the color pink when I was PG with DD. Now 12 years later I still Love pink, and my girl is definitely a pink girl!
I am definitely drawn to lines with pink in them, so much so, that I am currently seeking out more boy lines with no Pink in them to scrap my boys!

I love all things pink. I swooned over MME's Christmas collection Sugar Plum. That said, I think it might be hard to use. I bought it anyway.
But, I do love fall colors. I have trouble not buying all the fall collections.

I too love all things pink. It's my favorite color, and I can't get enough. I also love it with teal! Oh yum!!!! Or orange, or green, or you name it. I LOVE color and the brighter the better! It makes me happy! |

I don't understand the pink/no pink debate that always seems to swirl around. I prefer pink. I buy a lot of pink. Guess what I don't buy a lot of? Brands that aren't pink heavy like simple stories. Ali Edwards also stays away from too much pink. There's a lot of stuff that isn't pink centric. Buy that.

There's a lot of stuff that isn't pink centric. I think it's been increasingly hard to find the last 2 or 3 years. I don't mind small doses of pink. I think what bothers me more is the sameness; lots of pink, blue, watercolors, pastels, gold metallics, and brush script lettering in so many collections. If it's pink done in a new way; I'm not opposed to buying some. One that comes to mind is the recent release of the retro sassy woman line (can't remember the company), but I did not mind the colors in that one.

I used to avoid it like the plague. Then I had a little girl. Now it seems like that is all I use.

I love pink but I don't feel like I need to use it on every layout. I don't subscribe to any kit clubs but I can see why it would get to someone after a while because I see a lot of pink in them.

I LOVE pink, like I would eat it if I could. but I have tons and tons of stuff that isn't pink, so it's definitely out there.
it's just a color, like every other color out there. I've never understood the huge aversion to it. then again, I can use pink on a page about anything and make it work.

I don't care for pastel pink (Or purple, or pastel anything), but a hot pink is OK. I do think there is way too much of it in the last few years of collections.

@juliehenry I do buy most lines that don't contain pink. I was just making an observation.

I usually try to find papers that work with colors in the photo. That's just how my brain works. If it was a photo of my kids in black or primary colors, I'd struggle finding a way to make pink work. I know it would take me so much time to figure it out, it's easier to avoid pink! |

I love pink in scrapbooking paper, stickers, tools, etc... I even have the Pink Expression.
I do not wear pink although I love it on other people, especially my daughter. I tend to wear darker colors (ahem... trying to camouflage my weight, I feel like darker colors are more figure flattering).
I do have a pink purse and pink shoes though.

Another pink lover here! I never get tired of it. My favorite shades have ranged over the years from mauve to my current favorite, blush pink. That being said, I do get tired of some of the paper design color combinations with the same shade of pink and aqua, line after line. I love the ones that use pink in a fresh new way, or a traditional classic way. Shimelle does this really well, as does Crate Paper. melissas posted a pink layout on Instagram today that made me swoon. (I hope it's OK to call you out here, Melissa!) |

I'm not a fan of pink in my scrapping or my wardrobe.
I almost wish I did love it, because I can find it everywhere.

I LOVE pink, especially hot pink. My hair, is in fact, currently hot pink. I like it for scrapping, wearing and looking at. i certainly prefer some shades of pink to others...I tend to enjoy brighter or richer colours to pastels as a general rule though. I like that pink plays well with lots of other colours: teals, blues, black, yellow, orange etc etc. That being said, I love lots of colours, so I am fine with other colour stoo. I especially like yellow for scrapping. And navy, love navy!

Pink is really trendy right now, along with gold foil and watercolor everything. And just like any trendy thing, it will eventually be replaced with something else. Who knows, maybe purple will be the new pink. You just have to wait it out. I personally like pink a lot and love that we're seeing more hot pink. However, I do not like gold or the watercolor trend and both are everywhere and have been for a while. Eventually they will all go away.  |

I love pink. It's my favorite color. I own tons of scrapbooking products that are pink and I love them. But I only use it sparingly on my pages. Sometimes even I get sick of seeing so much pink in products so I get what you are saying OP. I would love to see something with "strong" neutrals like a nice navy blue, some browns and fallish oranges.

I love pink and I use the lighter, warmer shades as neutrals. I love it with yellow and orange, my other favorite colors. Those warm yellow-reds are colors I'm always drawn to for scrapbooking. I'm sure there's a psychology there, since I greatly prefer those colors to cooler shades for telling my stories even when I have plenty of both to choose from.

I needed navy blue thickers and out of the zillion in my stash I didn't have any. So I took my navy blue copic marker and colored over my tan thickers. Worked beautifully! |

I love pink. My DD loves pink. We both wear a LOT of pink so I use it a lot on my pages too. If I have a choice between something plain and something pink (especially if the price is the same) I'll choose the pink one *every* time. I like the hotter, brighter pinks than the more pastel peachier pinks.
That said, I don't think it needs to be in EVERY collection. However, I did really like the Sugar Plum collection from My Mind's Eye that had the pink in it, and I could use the heck out of that one.

Not a fan. I have never liked the color. I will not buy a pink tool. It feels too little girl to me. I don't mind hot pink. I do find that some manufacturers are less likely to use pink and those are the papers I purchase. I would be nice if you could find as many masculine lines as there are feminine, but I completely get that manufacturers are going to go where the money is.

I don't dislike pink (or purple) but I struggle to use it on my layouts. I have three kids - one boy, two girls - my older DD doesn't own anything pink, she has a couple of deep purple tops; my younger DD owns some pink (handmedowns) but rarely wears it. I don't own anything pink and I have one purple top. It's hard to draw colours from my photos and end up with pink - it just doesn't go well with what we're wearing

I don't dislike pink at all but it doesn't need to be in every line. I read on another thread here that AC told Shimelle that "pink sells". Guess it must because most lines have pink in them.
