Is Pink Really Pink??

eSheri · 02-02-2011, 03:34 PM

Ladies (and gentlemen who have seen them in person), would you call the pink 350 pink??
On my computer it looks pink, but when I opened my box, its more of a berry color! Please don't misunderstand, I love it just the same!
Maybe my screen needs calibrating or, pink is in the eyes of the beholder! ;-)
Girls what do you think??... and Guys too!

As someone commented back when they came out: "They're not 'Hello Kitty' pink!" (which the commenter implied would be kind of gross).

Pink. Just compare it to a red 650 and you'll see.

Hot metallic pink.

Bookworm_Girl · 02-02-2011, 09:35 PM

It's not pink like I usually think of pink. I like your description of berry!

I like all shades of pink. I would so love to have a pink 350, but I just don't need another ereader....

My colleague has one. I would call the color "magenta", not pink.

As they say, it's not "Hello Kitty" pink, but there're more shades. Fucsia, magenta or are a shade of pink, IMHO.

I think it's closer to plum than magenta, but we've had these long conversations about color before...

Terisa de morgan · 02-03-2011, 08:37 AM

Yes

babyd · 02-03-2011, 11:07 AM

its hot pink, but it does lean to the purple side of pink

I stayed away from the pink color because I'm a guy. But if I had it to do over, anything would be better than the gosh awful metallic silver with chrome buttons on my 350 and 950. They are terrible when in direct sunlight. Apparently Sony designers not only have trouble writing software, but they are color blind as well!

eSheri · 02-03-2011, 12:31 PM

js, maybe one if those black glove-like covers will make it better. Wow! you have the 350 & 950! I thought I would be the only person who would have both! How's the 950??
