Pink is a tint of red, the color of blood, and was viewed as a warrior's color.
Admirals in the 1700's wore pink. This example is more correctly called rose.
Pink was adopted as girl's color in the 1940s by the kid's clothing industry. Prior to that, it had been blue for girls, pink for boys.
The clothing manufacturers like the gender-associated colors because it cuts down on hand me downs.
