In defence of my 'spew' comment, I still struggle with my masculinity(sigh), so anything in pink gives me gastric distress. My cube at work has mottled pink walls, with beige edge trim. All day I work with materials that come in ESD plastic bags in.....pink poly wrap. The color of our binders for our large group of manuals in in pink with gray trim. Some of it I can block out, but when a decidedly masculine marque(Porsche), builds a decidedly masuline car(928), the sight of it wrapped in any shade other than the manly blacks, tans, or dark blue/green is; well; emasculating.
Nicole's sense of style and elegance is pretty well established(luv ya, mean it, let's do lunch, have your people call my people). Far be it for me to intrude on her area of expertese. But, I like my 'nads right where they are. This color is for a MIATA. This color is for a VW CABRIO. This color is for a FORD TAURUS. This color is not for a Porsche 928. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Can I get a GRUNT!!!!!! AARRRRGGGUUUUUUHHHHH!!!

Hell, I USE the male aversion to pink to my advantage... thusly:
I used to do building contracting (Victorian restorations), and I'd sub jobs out to other contractors. And as often as not, some of my tools would walk away.... that is, until I took to spray painting the handles and so on hot pink. Strangely enough, none of the tools so marked ever dissappeared.
