Cancer Research UK's website in the pink, says .net magazine
Howard Lake | 11 October 2006 | News
Cancer Research UK’s website gets the thumbs up from .net magazine’s October 2006 issue in an article about use of colour in website design.
Jason Walsh writes: “the considered use of pink in the Cancer Research UK website design marries well with feminity and a feeling of community.”
That said, the screenshot that is used to illustrate that quote is the “support breast cancer research” page, so pink would be appropriate. Other areas of the site will of course address non-gender specific cancers, so maybe the pink wouldn’t be quite so appropriate on those.

Still, it’s encouraging to see a charity getting positive coverage for its web design.
