In fiction, and sometimes in [[Real Life]], we tend to [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|differentiate between "girly colors" and boyish ones]]. It is clearer with babies, when we are prone to see girls dressed in pink and boys in light blue.
Line 42:
* In both the anime and [[The Movie]], ''[[Speed Racer]]'' typically wears blue and white, while his girlfriend Trixie dons pink and red. However, on formal occasions in the anime, Trixie would wear a blue dress while Speed wore a red blazer.
* Hayate and Hinagiku from ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]''. It's especially noteworthy as it completely subverts the girly pink-haired girl/stoic blue-haired guy dynamic (just don't tell that to Hinagiku) as Hayate is quite emotional at times and is noted for being very girly while Hinagiku is generally pretty tough and acts more boyish. Like the above example, Hina proves that girly pink can be very [[Badass]] and Hayate shows that being a slightly feminine Bishounen is also no handicap on that front.
* Toyed with in the ''[[Slayers]]'' franchise in regards to the two [[Model Couple|model couples]]: for [[Bodyguard Crush|Lina and Gourry,]] the latter wears blue while the former wears a light shade of magenta. For [[Ship Tease|Zelgadis and Amelia]], the latter is a princess who has both a pink dress for diplomatic duties and a modest traveling outfit with some pink touches, while the former is a chimera who literally has blue ([[Adaptation Dye Job|or blue-green]]) colored skin.
* While not exactly ''pink'' per say , [[Action Girl|Erza]] [[Meaningful Name|Scarlet]] and [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|Jellal Fernandes]] of ''[[Fairy Tail]]''.
* The [[Faceless Masses]] in ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' are often colored this way, whether they're hairless and limbless, shaped like restroom signs, or detailed in the outline but still a solid color.
* ''[[Shugo Chara]]'' has Nagihiko's Guardian Characters, the very pink and ([[Yandere (disambiguation)|sort of]]) girlish Temari and the very blue and boyish Rhythm. Also, Seiyo Academy's school uniforms follow the pattern as well, with the girl uniforms being red and the boy uniforms being blue.
* Shows up frequently in [[Godannar]] with just about each of the couples/partners' pilot suits, noteably Goh and Anna. Even the more masculine of the two American female robot pilots were darker colors than her cohort (whose pink-and-white costume barely qualified as clothing).
* In case of ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'', it's more like [[The Chick]] wears pink and the [[Tomboy]] wears blue.

Line 158:
* In ''[[Dorf Quest]]'', boys are default black, girls are pink, gods are blue, and goddesses are purple.
* In ''[[Question Duck]]'', [http://questionduck.smackjeeves.com/comics/1145344/164/ it's one of the questions].
* In ''[[Wizard School]]'', when the students play Transmogritus, [http://www.meetmyminion.com/?p=1423 Celeste turns pink and Merrill turns blue.]
* ''[[Bad Machinery]]'': Shauna acquires a strange "dog".
