Today, I want to highlight paper dolls that celebrate the color pink. Like many women, I have a complicated relationship with the color pink. As a small child, I loved pink so much I got my mother to paint my bedroom pink. A pale shade that I kept until I was in high school and the room was repainted yellow. For a while, I disavowed pink, swearing that I didn’t like it and would never wear it.
Now, I have come back to admitting that I actually really love pink. I love coral pinks, dusty pinks, pastel pinks, and deep magenta. I love wearing pink. I think of it as the sister to red (another favorite color) warm and welcoming and strong. Pink, it seems to be, can be a purr or a roar.
Thirty Paper Dolls in Pink!
Were I too attempt to gather up every paper doll I’ve ever drawn that uses the color pink I think I would end up with hundreds, so instead I picked just thirty printable paper dolls that use the color pink. These are a few favorites. My only criteria was that pink needed to be a major color in the set, not just an accent or trim color. The designs range from a flamingo masquerade paper doll to several cyberpunk paper dolls. There’s evening gowns in pink and medieval gowns in pink.
The only thing they all have in common is, well, a celebration of the the color pink.
