The whole binary color thing isn't that old, socially speaking. It only goes back to the late 19th/ early 20th century.
It used to be that we dressed our children in the same type outfit until they were a certain age.
And we didn't judge a child's sex by the color of the clothing. Shocking, I know.
Here's an interesting article on this subject from the Smithsonian.
