My favourite colour as a little girl was yellow (and it still is).
Right now her favorite toys are her Skylanders game for the Wii and her pink Tribble.
This answer was brought to you by my boyfriend Vengeance in Chrome. Blame him. >.<
Now that she is 9 she either has this...

Historically blue was a color used to celebrate life. It was the most popular color of wedding gowns, party clothes and even bed linnins. Dishes, house wears and furniture were all accented with blue huges.
So it went that when a boy child was born to a house it was a time to celerbrate, but commonly a girl would also be swaddled in blue cloth, especially in a wealthy home.
Around the time of the "black death" fabric dies became a little harder to get. Cloth was being used in great quanity as death shrouds. Because of the boils and sores caused by the pleague cloth would be stained redish. People took that as a sign and began to believe that death was looking for those who wore shades of red (aka pink) and wanting to protect the male children they began to wrap little girls in pink or pale tones of red to hopefully move "death" to take the girls over the boys.
The tradition stuck and pink came to represent girls while blue came to rep boys....
So next time you see a baby wrapped in green or yellow smile and know some tradtions are better left in teh dark ages.

'Appropriate' gender toys, colors & etc are a fabricated construct that adults foisted off onto our children.
