It may feel like the idea of pink for girls and blue for boys has long been a part of our society. However, it wasn't that long ago that the lines were far from clear. In fact, the saying was even reversed in many areas! Not only that, but blue and pink weren't even common clothing colors for infants until the 1920s. So what did we use the colors for? And how did they end up being chosen? And why is pink so "girly" now that men refuse to wear it? It turns out that may be a very complex set of questions. But, with a little bit of French and Dutch translation, we may be able to open up some forgotten history.
