As someone who very early in life loved both the word and the color "pink," I love this thread! My contribution:

Jantzen's logo features a "diving girl" wearing a deep coral pink/red swimsuit. From the 1930s to the 1960s, it's interesting to see their iconic color gradually get pinker and pinker. By the 1960s, they're in full-on pink mode.

Washed out reddish-pink:

A little bit pinker:

Miss Red now takes a backseat to Miss Pink:

Definitely pink (with the pink-on-pink color scheme so popular in the mid-1960s):
