One of Barbie’s most defining characteristics is her passion for pink. The doll uses color in everything: in her name, in her house, in her car, and especially in her clothes. The tone used by her ended up becoming her symbol, so this specific shade of pink was patented as Pink Barbie, and in the Pantone palette it can be found as PMS 219.
