Rejected petition Change the UK passport colour to Pink after Brexit.
Rejected on
Recently there has been discussion of changing the UK passport after Bexit, from burgundy to a different colour.
We propose that the passport be changed to pink to reflect the modern, vibrant & inclusive UK that we live in - to counter the perception of closed mindedness & xenophobia.
In public opinion surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the color most associated with charm, politeness & sensitivity. (Eva Heller, Psychologie de la couleur - effets et symboliques, p.179-185)
"In the pink" ~ Idiom. To be in top form,good health,good condition. In Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio says; "I am the very pink of courtesy." Romeo: Pink for flower? Mercutio: Right. Romeo: Then my pump is well flowered." - Pink portrays good health, and what's more British than Shakespeare?
