Garment in bright fuchsia pink

Question

Is there any problem with a woman wearing a garment that is entirely or partially in a bright pink (fuchsia) color?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

There are two points here: 

Regarding the prohibition of wearing red clothing – pink is not considered red. 

Regarding modesty – a conspicuous, eye-catching garment is not modest, since it draws attention. 

Therefore, if the color is “radiant” and attracts the eye, it is forbidden to wear it.
