    Red was the manly color, it was seen as regal. So light red (pink) was the color of the boys. Blue was the color of the virgin Mary and light blue used for femal children.

      Purple is usually what’s considered the royal colour.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple

      Purple has long been associated with royalty, originally because Tyrian purple dye—made from the secretions of sea snails—was extremely expensive in antiquity.

      Basic reds, not as much, but yes. The brighter, the more royal.
