The Pink Moon is the name given to the full moon that occurs in April. It is one of the many traditional names for full moons, originating from Native American culture and early colonial times in North America. The name doesn't refer to the color of the moon; instead, it is associated with the pink wildflower, Phlox subulata, also known as moss pink or creeping phlox, which blooms in the spring.

The Pink Moon is usually the first full moon of the spring season and marks a time of growth and renewal. The moon itself appears the usual golden or silver color, depending on atmospheric conditions. It is a time that symbolizes rebirth, growth, and change, as spring begins to take hold in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
