Pink has been most associated with little girls but this wasn't always the case. Because it's easy to bleach, white was actually the colour of choice for babies of both genders until the mid-19th century. And even then, the pastels that hit the newborn-fashion scene were considered pretty gender neutral. That all changed around 1918 when an article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department set a new rule: Pink is for boys because it's the more "decided and stronger" colour, and blue, being the "delicate and dainty" option of the Virgin Mary, is for girls.
