The whole pink-for-girls-blue-for-boys nonsense only dates from the Second World War. Prior to that, the nonsense was reversed - boys were traditionally dressed in pink (all shades of red were considered masculine colours) and little girls in either yellow or blue (feminine colours). The change is thought to be due in large part to the popularity of military uniforms.
