Children's toys for younger age groups are often marketed based on color, but as the age group increases, color becomes less gender stereotyped.

Age[edit]
Children's toys for younger age groups are often marketed based on color, but as the age group increases, color becomes less gender stereotyped. In general, many toys become gender neutral and hence adopt gender-neutral colors. In the United States it is common to associate baby girls with pink and baby boys with blue. This difference in young children is a learned difference rather than an inborn one. Research has looked at the preference of young children, ages 7 months to 5 years, for small objects in assorted colors. The results showed that by the age of 2–2.5 years socially constructed gendered colors affects children's color preference, where girls prefer pink and boys avoid pink, but show no preference for other colors.
Contrary to the adult fondness for blue, in children yellow is the most favored color, owing to its associations with happiness. However, children like colors they find to be pleasant and comforting and their preferences do not change much, while adult color preference is usually easily influenced. Slightly older children who have developed a sense of favorite color often tend to pick items that are in that color.
Children's perceptions for color can be seen in a preference for a certain color of a food. The taste perceptions of all colors are not all the same with children and adults. Primary colors have its own specific taste and the taste of secondary colors is a common to taste of the alike primary colors. Primary colors such as red and yellow, would indicate a similar taste when comparing pink and orange in a red/pink and yellow/orange pairing.

PEER REVIEW SUMMARY STATEMENT
I read the peer reviews from members of my LC Milgram Group. I have made the following changes as suggest by:
Megan- I looked up and read the story of the Sad Beige Mom (I've never heard it before) and I used the lead sentence as a new sentence for a paragraph within the topic that I am editing.
Raniya- I did start to add more to my article than when you reviewed it and I fixed grammatical errors as suggested, Also I did not add a section about color psychology in adults as this is already a section in the bigger piece of the article already published on Wikipedia.
Caroline- I chose not to delve into other countries and the infant's perception of colors because I am already finding and working on a lot of information for just the US, and I did not want to overwhelm myself. I did, however, find a few more academic resources as you suggested.
Akeiah- Thank you for your confidence in me and I did seek more articles about infants and color perception.
