pink and blue
Gender reveal hues
Pink and blue is shorthand for the gender binary, referencing the convention of assigning pink to girls and blue to boys.
The phrase often appears in discussions of gender norms or expectations: The nursery was decorated in pink and blue, thinking beyond pink and blue.
A pink and blue party or pink and blue shower celebrates an expected baby without revealing the sex.
