Blue used to be for girls as it was seen as more “dainty,” while pink used to be associated with boys as it was seen as the stronger color. It didn’t change until the 1950s when some big advertising campaigns pushed pink as a feminine color exclusively for girls.
Pink isn’t sort of actually a colour. Well, it is, but there’s no wavelength of light that corresponds to pink. We perceive pink when we see a certain combination of wavelengths together (red and purple.)
Red was the manly color, it was seen as regal. So light red (pink) was the color of the boys. Blue was the color of the virgin Mary and light blue used for femal children.
Purple has long been associated with royalty, originally because Tyrian purple dye—made from the secretions of sea snails—was extremely expensive in antiquity.
Basic reds, not as much, but yes. The brighter, the more royal.
Am I the only one who thinks its kinda cool? I mean, within the comic lore it’s absurd that he would drive this, but from a consumer standpoint, it’s pretty cool.
I guess if it was part of some sort of DC/Hot Wheels series where all the cars were like that, but it didn’t appear to be. I mean if there was a Joker one and a Robin one and so on, maybe. But there wasn’t.
