"Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy." ~Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
The word “pink” became part of the English language in 1573 as the name of a plant, not a color. Less than 25 years later, it was used to describe a level of courtesy as seen in William Shakespeare's play “Romeo and Juliet” Act II, Scene IV, published in 1597:
And so it is easy to see that shortly after the word “pink” became part of the English language, it was associated with someone or something being in good shape or being the pinnacle (both good and bad) of what the word “pink” was describing. The idea of being “in the pink” or ‘in the very pink' doesn't appear to have changed much over the past 400 or so years.
