I saw this so now you have to, too:
Comment on Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women?

It’s a fairly recent association. In fact, at least in art, red used to be the colour for men, Jesus in particular, and blue the colour of women, Mary in particular.
This is the best text I could find on the topic doing only a quick search.

This painting isn’t a traditional one but from a crazy painter/genious, or so I recall. It doesn’t follow the classic rules, and does lot’s of other awesome stuff instead. Can’t remember his name though…

Blue colour was a crushed gemstone from Afghanistan, so insanely expensive (used rarely and only on the top layer) so used only for rich people, so the church basically.
