Answer by Instinct Kid
It depends on what age your making it for. If your making it for little children (probably aged 3-7) I suggest using Dark Blue/Red for Boys or Pink/Purple for girls.

color stimulates neural sensory development in small children. i don’t believe in pink for girls and blue for boys. my daughter loves all colors, as long as they are bright. as infants, the best colors for toys are black, white and red. but as they get older, brights in general are perfect.
by going along with some of the manufacturers that still subscribe to the old ‘pink for girls, blue for boys’, society is helping to continue the sexist stereo-types as to what colors are acceptable.
my 5-year-old daughter goes thru phases where she will only wear one color for about a week, then suddenly, her favorite color changes, as does her wardrobe. by giving her freedom to decide on her own what she likes, her toys and clothes have become much more diverse than all three of her cousins (all right around her age).
