Pink People

"Pink people" or "Pink race" is a racial classification, referring to "colored" individuals with pink-colored skin variations, generally a person having origins in any of the original peoples of European ancestry and ethnicity, with some atypically form Middle Eastern, Asian, or North African ancestry.

These colored individuals have common skin variations that include pale pink, cool pink, porcelain, pale blush, pink beige, fair rose, rosy, soft blush, carnation, dusty rose, warm coral-pink, peachy-pink, deep pink tones, and neutral-to-warm pinkish skin tones.

This skin color is based on medically and scientifically supported empirical evidence based on the color of blood showing through the skin, rather than the pigment itself. It is often found in individuals with less melanin and higher skin translucency, which allows the red tones of blood to be more prominent and visible, creating a cooler, pinker appearance rather than the unscientific white one based on a social or political construct.

The "pink' appearance for many Europeans (Pink people or Pink race), particularly those from Northern and Western Europe, is best explained by the combination of low levels of skin melanin and high visibility of blood vessels (hemoglobin) beneath the surface.
