Why is it Called the Pink Full Moon? Despite its name, the Pink Full Moon does not actually appear pink in colour. The term "pink" is derived from the traditional Native American name for the April full moon, which is associated with the blooming of wildflowers, particularly the phlox flower, that carpet the landscape in shades of pink.
