Russian gender colours & forks

[Allan, Kenneth]

Thanks all for the useful responses regarding Russian gendered colours and forks.

About the colours, Paoletti does suggest that French fashion used the pink-girl, blue-boy convention early on, and that this may have spurred its later adoption elsewhere.

Best,
