Blue is for boys and pink is for girls Options

[lkajsfklajskds]

Why do you think baby boys are dressed in blue and baby girls in pink? Or that teenage girls lean towards red and boys to blue? Sure, this has been changing and many girls prefer blue over pink (me), but still...where did this even come from to begin with?

Gender and color

Researchers at Princeton University refer to this as the Pink Frilly Dress (PFD) phase.

When the color assignments among boys and girls did evolve in the '20s, the colors were reversed: pink was for boys and blue for girls. It wasn't until around the 1940s that the colors flip-flopped to the assignment we recognize today [source: The Guardian].

it's a microcosm of a much larger social conditioning machine

I know this is random but you should look up Brave New World by Aldous Huxley if you haven't already. It's a brilliant novel that illustrates what the worst case scenario 'social conditioning machine' could be.


Back on topic... personally I like yellow and purple for bedroom walls but I dont think I would ever dress a child entirely in one color... unless the clothes were ridiculously cute
