    Has anyone ever heard of the Baker-Miller Pink experiment?

    Apparently it’s been observed that a certain shade of pink suppresses aggression.

    For a quick excerpt: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236843504_The_Physiological_Effect_of_Color_on_the_Suppression_of_Human_Aggression_Research_on_Baker-Miller_Pink

    Maybe there is a reason that pink is a girl’s colour? Interesting read none the less.

    All i’ve got to say on this is a) No I’ve never heard of it; and b) It’s always struck me as odd that Pink was the colour of choice for girls. My rationale is that in the olden days colours would have been fairly rudimentary given the scarcity of dye etc. I’m imagining that colours in textiles were red, blue, yellow, black but that the more nuanced colours like mauve, pink, lilac etc were harder and more expensive to come buy. Why pink for girls? why not red or yellow?

    That’s my two cents (and it’s barely that).

    I thought maybe pink & girls came from roses or something, because girls like fragile and precious like flowers. Or maybe on a deeper level, something to do with the quickly fading beauty of flowers.
