How much of the color "pink" can a baby boy wear (in clothing or as a baby blanket) before there is "gender confusion" on the part of the adult onlookers? This is for a gender-bending art exhibition. |

There is no answer at this time. |

For all the verbal fancy-dancing, there isn't much in this answer except one person's opinion. If I had posted a question at this price, I'd have expected more. It would have been nice to see at least one ourside source to back up all the fluff that came out of the researcher's head. |

leapinglizard's answer seems fairly authoritative to me, even though it may be based only on his/her opinion and personal experience. I can't imagine what sort of objective evidence there would be on such a matter, which at the end of the day is simply irrational bias. (Obviously, the colour of a baby's clothing has nothing whatever to do with the baby's gender/sexuality, though it may have something to do with the parents'.) Incidentally, it seems to me that it is only in fairly recent years that the colour pink has been associated with gays, and it probably has led to some men being inhibited from wearing pink shirts, which were certainly quite popular 30 or so years ago.) |

Just to add my two cents... there are several consulting firms and organisations/groups that specialize in collecting data about color. Especially in textiles. I would have consulted them. Here would have been a place to start. http://www.colorassociation.com |
