Why is color pink associated with girls?


Society injects and enforces certain gender stereotypes of 'femininity' to girls. Also, pink is regarded as a socially feminine and soft color. So pink is being associated with the girls. There are opposite example. The color contrasts with pink is blue. (This is what the society has decided too.) Blue is considered a socially masculine, bold and brave color. Society also injects and enforces certain gender stereotypes of 'masculinity' to boys. So, boys are associated with blue like girls are associated with pink.
