A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Pink Means Feminine]] and [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]].
Compare [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]], [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]], [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]], [[Pink Is for Sissies]], [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]. Not to be confused with [[Pink Boy Blue Girl]], a redirect to [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]], which describes a pairing of a masculine girl and a feminine boy.

* Huggies is a shining example of this trope. Go ahead, look 'em up on [[YouTube]], and link 'em back here.
Line 109:
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]'': In the expansion pack Alien Crossfire, the opposing leaders of [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|the two Usurper factions]], Guardian Lular H'minee (the leader of the Manifold Caretakers) is a pink female (although the game lore states that [[Ambiguous Gender|''"gender fluid in Progenitor culture; female is the closest human analogue"'']]) and Conqueror Judaa Maar (the leader of the Manifold Usurpers) is a blue-greenish male (note: actual gender indeterminate)▼
* ''[[Bubble Bobble]]'': One of [[Ryu and Ken|the original two]] is the underdog Bob, who is a male human-turned-blue bubble dragon. His apparent partner in ''Bubble Symphony'' (in cutscenes, she is ''always'' beside Bob) is Coro, a female human-turned-magenta bubble dragon and one of the new group of two. Extended with green for Bub (a boy) and orange for Kulu (a girl), who are also beside each other in cutscenes.
** ''Bubble Bobble '''[[Non-Linear Sequel|Part]]''' [[Non-Linear Sequel|2]]'': In the NES version's intro, the protagonist who soon gets [[Baleful Polymorph|cursed]] wears (light greenish) blue, and the soon to be [[Damsel in Distress]] wears pink with a matching color bow.
Line 145 ⟶ 144:
* ''[[Twin Cobra II]]'': Player 1's helicopter is blue and is piloted by a male, Player 2's helicopter is red and is piloted by a female.
* Although he is associated with the color red because of his hat and shirt, [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]]'s outfit also includes blue overalls, and his love interest, Princess Peach, wears pink.
▲* ''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]'': In the expansion pack ''Alien Crossfire'', the opposing leaders of [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|the two Usurper factions]], Guardian Lular H'minee (the leader of the Manifold Caretakers) is a pink female (although the game lore states that [[Ambiguous Gender|''"gender fluid in Progenitor culture; female is the closest human analogue"'']]) and Conqueror Judaa Maar (the leader of the Manifold Usurpers) is a blue-greenish male (note: actual gender indeterminate).
== Visual Art ==
* Two paintings -- ''[[wikipedia:Pinkie (Lawrence painting)|Pinkie]]'' by Thomas Lawrence and ''[[wikipedia:The Blue Boy|The Blue Boy]]'' by Thomas Gainsborough—have long been grouped together. The pink girl and blue boy are displayed directly across the room from each other at the Huntington Museum in Southern California.

* Used in ''[[VG Cats]]'' with Leo (who wears blue and has grey fur) and Aeris (who wears mainly purple-pink clothes and has pink fur).
* Commented on by Millie in ''[[Ozy and Millie]]''; one about her needing to 'staple pink frilly stuff' to herself to remind Stephan that she's a girl, and another where she thinks pink is a bit of a girly colour for herself. The pink here is her own skin after being hit with the defoliation [[Running Gag]] that Simpson had set up. As far as fur colour is concerned, Ozy is white-grey (Arctic fox), while Millie is red-orange (red fox). Make of that what you will.
