It could include determining fashion’s direction, influencing home decoration and even affecting how food appears. Yet, we have perhaps never seen quite so much philosophical and cultural implications (40) ________ (attach) to a color decision as we have for the 2016 Color of the Year.

For the first time, it’s a blend of two colors, both of (41) ___________ are soft and sweet: Rose Quartz, (42) ________ (pale) pink, and a baby blue called Serenity.

(45) __________(explain) the choice, the American company referred to ―social movements toward gender equality and the consumer’s increased comfort with using color as a form of expression.‖

However, that’s not at all.

Makeup companies have also embraced the pick with pink and blue lipsticks and nail polish. On the home decoration front, everything from candles to bedding and throw pillows is turning up in pink and blue to appeal (48) _________ both men and women.

Now, if you still think blue is only for men and pink is only for women, perhaps you are ―out.‖ It’s about time we (49) ________ (say) goodbye to the old gender divide.
