Blue for boys and pink for girls
In many places, baby boys are dressed in blue and baby girls in pink. Why the difference?
Scientists now think this started many years ago. When most men worked in the fields, the weather was very important to them. If the sky was blue, it meant good weather. So when the men thought of blue, they were very happy. In the past, women’s main job was to look for food for their family. They liked pink and red because these were the colours of healthy food, such as strawberries and apples.
People were also influenced by old stories. The colour blue was once believed to have the power to drive evil spirits away, so people dressed baby boys in blue in the hope that boys would be protected. Baby girls were dressed in pink because, according to a European story, girls were born inside pink roses.
