Resum
The colour pink, as opposed to blue, is one of the most explicit gender markers in children’s fashion. This chromatic dimorphism between boys and girls is so well-establish nowadays, especially in the early stages, that it is difficult to resist, or, at least, to trace some signs of resistance. This paper presents in the first place the evolution that has led to this state. Secondly, it offers a political reading of this opposition between pink and blue colours, from a historical perspective of the gender markers in childhood and shows its impact in the visibility and distribution of inequality between children.
