“In Europe and the United States, pink is often associated with girls, while blue is associated with boys. These colors were first used as gender signifiers just prior to World War I (for either girls or boys), and pink was first established as a female gender signifier in the 1940s. In the 20th century, the practice in Europe varied from country to country, with some assigning colors based on the baby’s complexion, and others assigning pink sometimes to boys and sometimes to girls. Many have noted the contrary association of pink with boys in 20th-century America. An article in the trade publication Earnshaw’s Infants’ Department in June 1918 said:The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.”Source | Photo sourceGirls Are Taught To ‘Think Pink,’ But That Wasn’t Always SoThe History Of Pink For Girls, Blue For Boys -- source link
