pink for girls
Outdated color assignment
Pink for girls is the cultural assumption that pink is a feminine color appropriate for girls while blue belongs to boys.
This gender-color coding is relatively recent—early 20th-century advice often reversed the pairing.
The phrase typically appears in discussions challenging or reinforcing these conventions: Why is it always pink for girls and blue for boys?
