</p><p>Color associations are often not only subjective, but vary by culture as well. For instance, cyan as a color of light if equidistant between green and blue, but in my experience, lighter cyan tends to be considered a kind of blue, and darker cyan (teal) more often tends to be considered a kind of green. But in some cultures,
green and blue of any shade were historically not considered separate colors at all.
</p><p>Personally, I see pink as a very light red (perhaps often with some magenta), and peach as a very light orange. I've never really seen them as the same color, but my eyes have also always been sensitive to differences in hue. And I always thought it curious, studying rocks as a child, that a certain characteristically orange- or peach-hued granite was called "
pink granite." Or later how Link's clothes in <i>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</i> could be dyed an unambiguous non-orange-hued pink, but the color was called "peach," at least in the English localization. So, obviously, some people <i>do</i> see them as either the same color or different variations of the same color.

<p>Ah, yes good old <i>grue</i>!
</p><p>There are some languages that see pink and red as just shades of one another such as Spanish, but others such as English don't do this and see pink as its own distinct color. I believe languages such as Russian see what in English is called baby blue as its own separate color just like pink in this language.
</p><p>Not sure why this has turned into a discussion on color theory, but I don't mind it.
</p><p>I will say that before I connected my laptop just as I was reading the comment above, GC's Pearl's hair was closer to pink because my screen was darker, but once I connected it, it was back to orangy-yellowish as I've always seen it on TV and on this website as well as elsewhere.
</p><p>Anyways, back on topic.
