Why is pink used instead of red to represent the lowest color on the spectrum.?
Pink is a derivative of red, and is much more attractive to use in the coloring of the icons. At a deeper level, it should be understood that pink is the color of healthy human tissue. This does not apply to the color of a person’s skin. It applies only to those tissues unaffected by pigmentation. The best example is the tongue. Every healthy human being, regardless of race, creed, color or sex, has a tongue that is pink. The importance of this is underscored by the biblical scripture: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” …Proverbs 18:21 Therefore, every man, woman and child has the power of life and death in their tongue. This is why prayer is such a powerful tool. It is the means by which we use our tongues to speak a greater abundance of Life into our life.
