The Pinks and the BLUES !!!

The pinks indicate the girlies and the bleeding blue is for the boys. This just reminds me of the awesome colorful weeks we used  to have in college.Those colorful weeks when the girlies used to dress in pinks and boys in blues. This was when the class was painted in pink and blue (refer Photo above).We were awarded best pinky and best bluer when we went all jazzed up in  pinks and blues.

Ladies' Home Journal article 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.

Why do girls wear pink and boys wear blue?

Is it a cultural phenomenon, as many assume? Or does this distinction between color preferences occur on a different level?

This pink blue concept also reminds me of the song..."ladki kyun najane kyun from HUM TUM ".

So pink and blue can be known as gender borne colors although nowadays babies are made to  wear neutral colors. Color preference may be based on biology or culture.The researchers suggest that women's preference for pink and red may come from their roles as gatherers in ancient times. Men may prefer blue because it signified a good water source and good weather.
