Ville du kjøpt/strikket rosa klær til gutten din?

Rosa til baby og liten gutt, hadde jeg ikke kjøpt.

På 20-tallet så hadde du kanskje gjort det? Pikebarn hadde ikke "monopol" på fargen før på 50-tallet, mens på 20-tallet så skulle jentebabyer ha lyseblått og guttebabyer ikles rosa.

Sitat:

“At one point pink was considered more of a boy’s color, (as a watered-down red, which is a fierce color) and blue was more for girls. The associate of pink with bold, dramatic red clearly affected its use for boys. An American newspaper in 1914 advised mothers, “If you like the color note on the little one’s garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention.” [The Sunday Sentinal, March 29, 1914.]

“There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” [Ladies Home Journal, June, 1918]

“The preferred color to dress young boys in was pink! Blue was reserved for girls as it was considered the paler, more dainty of the two colors, and pink was thought to be the stronger (akin to red). It was not until WWII that the colors were reversed and pink was used for girls and blue for boys…” - Quote from Dress Maker Magazine
