Pink became a “girly” color less than 100 years ago
Although many people are pushing back against the idea that pink is for girls and blue is for boys, the association is still cemented into our brains. After all, it continues to be the default for gender reveal parties, dominates toy aisles, and colors beauty product packaging.
But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, this color coding is a relatively new concept.
Surprisingly, it used to be the complete opposite. A look at a 1918 article from the American trade publication Earnshaw’s Infants’ Department reveals the following: “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.”
