Shocking pink (also called neon pink) is bold and intense. It takes its name from the shade used on the box of the perfume called Shocking,[10] designed by Leonor Fini for the Surrealist fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1937. [11] This in turn was inspired by the Tête de Belier (Ram's Head), a 17.27ct pink diamond from Cartier owned by heiress Daisy Fellowes,[12] who was one of Schiaparelli's best clients.
Shocking pink kept its name in British English,[10] whereas in North America "This intense magenta was called shocking pink in the 1930s, hot pink in the 1950s, and kinky pink in the 1960s...[it] has appeared in the vanguard of more than one youth revolution...to some it sings, to others it screams". [13] This color is now again called "shocking pink" to distinguish it from the web color hot pink (shown above). Its appearance is more akin to magenta than it is to traditional pink. This color has always been popular among the avant-garde.
NHRA drag racer Shirley Muldowney was famous for driving a shocking pink dragster.
On its way into the German language, shocking pink lost the "shocking" and is called only "Pink", while the English color "pink" is referred to as "Rosa". Meanwhile in Portuguese one of its nomenclatures arrived intact becoming "cor-de-rosa choque" ("shocking pink") used more frequently in Brazil. It's also called "çingene pembesi" (Gypsy pink) in Turkish.
