Anyone else over 30 annoyed that light manufacturers have added pink to the minilight strings? (they started this about 10-15 years ago)

It used to be only red, blue, yellow and green. Now they have both red AND pink. I understand they do this to make the lights seem brighter, but it makes my tree look pink and it sucks.

I don't think there are any pink ones on the strings I have. I do recall there used to be salmon colored ones on some of the C7 strings we had.

Look closer. Follow the pattern. If it is something like red-yellow-blue-green and back to red again, that you have some of the few new ones that have no pink.

But most go something like red-pink-yellow-blue-green. The pink may look just like a slightly more pale red, but it is pink.

Much like this:

I'm pretty sure the miniature strings we got from Target a few years back only have 4 colors. I'll have to check when I get home.

No Xmas tree for me.
I don't have any kids so I don't need a tree.

I have white on mine - it just looks more liek a classic color to me.

we always put both white (for the brightness) and colored (because they're festive) on our tree. just white in the garlands out front, just colored on the deck out back and both on the tree.

we do white and colored minis, the older big glass bulbs and bubble lights from the 80's.
