Is there truth to the idea that men prefer blue
and women like pink? It’s easy to spot the girls’ section of a children’s
clothes shop because most of it is pink. I know a
lot of parents who insist that they would like their
daughters to wear something different, but pink
seems to hold an irresistible allure for them. But
is that really true? Is it inevitable that girls are
born to grow up to prefer pink?
But there is one way at least in which pink can
be useful for both women and men. Back in 2002
researchers in Switzerland who were keen to
increase the response rate to surveys, found that
printing questionnaires on coloured paper made
no difference, unless the paper was pink, in
which case 12% more people filled it in.
Colours, it seems, influence our behaviour much
more than we realise.
And most guys have also been studied to avoid putting on pink but see blue or red as a more masculine colour.... So what's ur take when colour is involved?
