Pink VS Blue

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20141117-the-pink-vs-blue-gender-myth

This article gives a really interesting look into gender and the colors typically assigned to it. As adults, men and woman both are drawn to the color blue, while more woman and than men are attracted to warm, red tones. However, in the early stages of life, children are drawn simply to primary colors like blue and red, excluding pink entirely. However, there is no correlation at that age between gender and color choice. Once children become toddlers and aware of their own gender, girls begin to be drawn to pink and boys are strongly repelled by pink, choosing blue instead. It's an interesting look at how culture influences perception of gender.
