Light blue flowers for the birth of a little boy

Red was considered a sign of masculinity, so pink - known as «little red» - was used exclusively for «little men».

When blue navy uniforms and work suits became ubiquitous during and after the war, people suddenly associated the color blue with men and light blue with little boys.
