How do you think these two colors should be applied for boys and girls?

As they are. They got it right the first time. Or I don't care enough about it to suggest a change, if that were the case.

The other way around. Makes more sense to me. Or I've got nothing better to do with my time than to consider arbitrary things such as this.

Blue & Pink

Postby Mitera Nikkou » Fri Oct 09, 2009 6:29 pm

Let's not make this any more complicated than it has to be, you infidels. :P Yes, there's no real innate colors for girls and boys. But, at least in the America, blue is used to identify boys while pink is used for girls. And I'm not being sneaky with the options: the "or" portions just go hand in hand with the color application chosen. For instance, if you didn't care, then there would be no color change. In that case, it'd remain blue for boys and pink for girls. That's all it is. I didn't make a separate option for "I don't care" because of the nature of the question posed. Hopefully I didn't go out of my way to make it clear for nothing.

The hassle of making polls, these days.

Fun fact. Pink actually used to the color for boys, with blue being for girls. Apparently, pink was thought to be a "stronger" color.

I think I remember something like that. I went the other way around since I think blue has more natural connections to girls than pink does (since it's the major color that represents water, and thus things associated with it). And also because I've not nothing better to do, obviously. :P

I resent that last comment...

I don't actually wear pink myself, but I've known guy(s) who have.

Well... I know that pink is a masculine color in Korea...
But in the states? I dunno. ^_^

Pink rules. Its one of my favorite colors... I wouldnt WEAR it, but thats mainly because of the connotations associated with it. And not the whole feminine thing. Guys around where I live that wear pink are usually doing it because they think its some kind of in-joke or something. It was one of those dumb highschool things.

And black guys... I've seen plenty of black guys pull off pink. God knows why, though.

There shouldn't be any difference in colours asssociated with genders... Key word being, 'shouldn't,' of course.
