GIRLS REALLY DO LIKE PINK

When Dr. Anya C. Hurlbert, a professor of visual neuroscience at Newcastle University in England, had a newborn, she noticed many items were pink and created a scientifically sound study to determine whether girls really do prefer pink. The answer, as outlined in a report in the Aug. 21 issue of the journal Current Biology, is "yes." Females do have a preference for pinkish colors that males don't.

"We find very clear differences between the males and females we have tested," Hurlbert said. "We haven't yet found any exceptions."

In more formal terms, females in the study showed a preference for the reddish side of the red-green axis of colors, while males didn't. There was no gender difference in preferences on the blue-yellow axis, with everyone tipping toward blue.

The study included 208 participants, ranging in age from 20 to 26.
