What does it mean if someone asks if it’s pink?

The other aspect about pink is its erotic connotations and its hint of nudity and sexual allure, and by and by, pink went from luxury to working class and from sophisticated to vulgar!

The Japanese seem to use pink in their cosplay as some sort of cute femininity.
