Actually, the whole gender-confusion campaign started a long time ago:
Ladies' Home Journal article in June 1918 said, "The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl."
Then it all flip-flopped in 1940:
In the 1940s manufacturers settled on pink for girls and blue for boys, so Baby Boomers were raised with wearing the two colors.

You're right.
A color is just a color, but oh how people love to make something of it!
This guy has Never owned or worn a pink shirt in all my 61 years of life on this world. My favorite color has always been sky blue, most of the clothes in my closet are now some pattern of Camo. I don't hold it against Straight guy's who can & do wear pink shirts, just not my kind of Hue.
To each his own -- everyone has their likes and dislikes. Just pointing out that color is a very subjective thing. On its own it has no meaning, only the meaning people assign to it -- and that can change over time.
I call foul on your source, but I appreciate the concept of devil's advocate.
Admittedly no source isn't better than a poor source, but my understanding was that blue was considered a color of protection (e.g. prominent in Israel) while pink was similar to skin color, and so associated with girls for encouraging or suggesting marital relations.
If we wanted a strong or bright color for boys, I'd have thought red or orange to be more easily available, long-used colors.

Jr. isn't a baby-boomer, he's a late-stage Gen-X.
The bigger problem is that gloryhole-face expression. --He's really gotta stop doing that. You never see his father making that face, not even when when he's schmoozing with Fruity Rudy-in-drag in a comedy skit.
If that's your problem today then life is GOOD
I'm optimistic: the day is still young.
