What a pleasure it is to state once more that you are wrong Slip! Armed with academic research of the highest calibre (watching a BBC comedy programme called QI) I am able to destroy what you had thought work of substance. It turns out the word 'boy' did not exist in English as a term for children of the male gender until recent times. 'Boys' were knaves and 'girls' gay-knaves. Pink was the colour for 'boys' and blue for 'girls', perhaps as late as the 1920's. Once again you have built a house of cards! There was a time, as a broke undergraduate, that I could be found on the streets of Salford, asking people what part of their sexual anatomy certain colours brought to mind (or was it the other way round?) for some dire marketing outfit. I somehow survived. French rugby union teams are known to wear pink.
The colours I really like and remember are those that identify the presence of certain elements in a bunsen burner flame. The rest is all curtains and stuff of no interest to any red-bloodied man. My brother is colour blind and gets along rather better than me. I have noticed all sorts of vile colours are associated with advertising and day-time television. Primary puke perhaps? I do grow odd coloured veggies because Sue likes them (purple sprouts, yellow cucumber etc.). Rather as in people I don't care what colour anything is, unless the colour means something (like rotten, brown meat). I don't drive a pink car though and have never owned a pink shirt. What's with you coming all over sensitive like? Thinking of a 'new man strategy' to get laid, going metrosexual? What colour are you now! LOL!
