  1. The COLOUR of WOMAN

  2. Globally Women are mostly represented by Pink

  3. No More Pink

  4. Why No More Pink PINK. Positive: Physical tranquillity, nurture, warmth, femininity, love, sexuality, survival of the species, compassion and understanding, sweetness, naiveté, innocence and inexperience Negative: Inhibition, emotional claustrophobia, emasculation, physical weakness, over-emotional and over-cautious, having emotional neediness or unrealistic expectations, being immature and girlish, lack of will power and lack of self worth • Pink is a weak colour. Even some describes pink as strong and determined, negative traits are more with pink. • Pink soothes, rather than stimulating. Normally dangerous criminals are housed in pink cells as studies show that the colour drains energy and calms aggression. Sports teams sometimes paint the opposing team’s locker room pink to keep the players passive and less energetic. • So women should say good-bye to PINKOMANIA

  5. Herstory When Pinkbecame a feminine colour • Jo Paoletti's book Pink and Blue: Telling the Boys from the Girls in America, "In most of Europe and America in the 19th century and early 20th century, pastel colours were considered 'youthful' and were used more often to flatter the complexion, not denote gender. Pink was considered more flattering for brown-eyed and brown-haired people, blue for the blue-eyed, and green and yellow for red-heads." Interestingly, till the 1920s babies, including boys, dressed in white gowns, and short dresses till the age of one.Earnshaw's Infants' Department magazine, dated 1918 said, "There has been a great diversity of opinion on this subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger colour is more suitable for boys, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for girls."

  6. Herstory When Pinkbecame a feminine colour RohitVishal Kumar, Associate Professor at Xavier's Institute of Social Service and co-author of Colour Colour Everywhere, gives us an insight into fashion trends of 18th and 19th century England. "The English uniform during this period was dominated by red, and small boys (seen as little soldiers) wore pink (derived by boiling the red cloth). So, it will surprise many to know that Britain itself was responsible for the distinction of blue for boys and pink for girls. It is believed that with the growing naval power of Britain, people started dressing their children in sailor suits and naval uniforms, which were blue. And overtime, blue began dominating the colour spectrum for boys, and pink was relegated to girls.“ It wasn’t until the 1940s that retailers and manufacturers decided on pink for girls and blue for boys. Then the women’s lib movement of the '70s actually pushed retailers back to gender neutrality. But in the '80s, the once lace-deprived girls became new moms, and the division of pink and blue started anew.- Mark Wilson in Fastcodesign.com

  7. Why Colour is Significant in Women Empowerment? • Human brain receives signals faster through eyes rather than ears. Visual appearance is supposed to be more appealing when compared to any other senses, no matter what the medium of presentation is. Colors are known to influence the behavior of a person. • Color is an important consideration in our brand identity system.  Colors have a significant impact on people’s emotional state.  They have a wide variety of specific mental associations.  In fact, the effects are physiological, psychological, and sociological. 

  8. Which COLOUR suits WOMAN most

  9. Before choosing the right COLOUR for woman, we must know the real woman Know the power of REAL WOMAN & her NEW COLOUR If you are busy click here to Go to the NEW COLOUR

  10. The Natural Leadership Talents of Woman • Albert Einstein once said, “The significant problems we face today cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” • Women bring a different way of thinking; a cooperative spirit; a gift for “reading” people; patience; empathy; networking abilities; negotiating skills; a drive to nurture children, kin, business connections and the local and world community; an interest in ethnic diversity and education; a keen imagination; a win-win attitude; mental flexibility; an ability to embrace ambiguity; and the predisposition to examine complex social, environmental, and political issues with a broad, contextual, long-term view. As the female mind becomes unleashed on our modern world, societies will benefit—even in lands where it is currently shackled.

  12. Portrait of a Female Investor • Trade less than men do • Exhibit less overconfidence—more likely to know what they don’t know • Shun risk more than male investors do • Less optimistic, more realistic than their male counterparts • Put in more time and effort researching possible investments—consider details and alternate points of view • More immune to peer pressure—tend to make decisions the same way regardless of who’s watching • Learn from their mistakes • Have less testosterone than men do, making them less willing to take extreme risks, which, in turn, could lead to less extreme market cycles

  13. “Forget China, India and the Internet: Economic Growth Is Driven by Women.” “Parents still prefer to have a boy rather than a girl. One longstanding reason boys have been seen as a greater blessing has been that they are expected to become better economic providers for their parents’ old age. Yet it is time for parents to think again. Girls may now be a better investment.Girls get better grades in school than boys, and in most developed countries more women than men go to university. Women will thus be better equipped for the new jobs of the 21st century, in which brains count a lot more than brawn. … surveys show that women consistently achieve higher financial returns than men do. Furthermore, the increase in female employment in the rich world has been the main driving force of growth in the last couple of decades. Those women have contributed more to global GDP growth than have either new technology or the new giants, India and China.” Source:Economist, April 15, 2006, Leader, page 14

  14. “A Guide to Womenomics: The Future of the World Economy Lies Increasingly in Female Hands.” Around the globe since 1980, women have filled “two new jobs for every one taken by a man.” “Women are becoming more important in the global marketplace not just as workers, but also as consumers, entrepreneurs, managers and investors.” A couple of final assertions: (1) It is now agreed that “the single best investment that can be made in the developing world” is educating girls. (2) Also, surprisingly, nations with the highest female labor force participation rates, such as Sweden and the U.S., have the highest fertility rates; and those with the lowest participation rates, such as Italy and Germany, have the lowest fertility rates. • Source: Economist, April 15, 2006, Leader, page 15

  16. Women Managers “Women speak and hear a language of connection and intimacy, and men speak and hear a language of status and independence. Men communicate to obtain information, establish their status, and show independence. Women communicate to create relationships, encourage interaction, and exchange feelings.” —Judy Rosener, America’s Competitive Secret
