Pink is an optical color, a blend of red and white, which is formulated by combining the frequencies of light that correspond to a red wavelength of 612 nm-nanometer with a white wavelength of 580 nm. The pink color is perceived by the human eye as a result of the interaction of the cones in the eyes, which are responsible for detecting different color frequencies. Generally speaking, pink is formed when the red light waves are less intense than what is perceived as the full hue, allowing for a muted hue that falls in between red and white.
