I knew that green or blue was the right answer and pink or purple was not Purely from learning the societal norm? Do you remember what your answer would have been from an even younger age, before you learned from the culture around you? I conjecture that closeted gay men are less likely to wear pink for this reason. Agreed, but I think this actually goes in a loop. I'm not sure where we are in that loop right now, I think we're definitely moving towards seeing men in the closet actually chose to wear pink, but don't think that's common, yet. My reason for thinking this is that it's a typical double bluff - if everyone knows that men in the closet avoid pink, then wearing pink becomes a way of showing that you don't care what people think, and aren't hiding anything. A similar example of perceptions going in a cycle is people wearing striped clothes to look thinner. It was a fairly well-known "fact" that verticle stripes make you look thinner while horizontal stripes make you look fatter, but it has now been shown to be the opposite way round - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/3351615/Horizontal-stripes-make-you-look-thinner.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/3351615/Hori... There is a view, I can't remember where I read it, and therefore am unsure whether it's a well-believed view or just a guess, that this just loops around. If everyone thinks that vertical stripes are slimming, then when you see someone wearing them your mind automatically assumes they are a little bit fatter than they actually are, so the effects are reversed.
