babywearing ? re. color and LO's sex

So this is a somewhat silly question, but just curious. Do you consider you carriers to be your accessories and choose colors you like?....or do you choose colors for your baby's sex?

I choose whatever color I want, but DH asked me why I was getting girl colors when we have a boy. Now, I'm not going to go out and purposefully dress our boy as a girl, but at the same time, if he wanted to wear a color that was considered feminie it would not bother me, so maybe that's why I don't mind what my carrier looks like. Anyways, just made me curious what others do.

    I don't really think it matters but I guess if I saw someone with a pink carrier I would assume it was a girl in there. Blue I would tend to think boy but not for sure. Red, Black, Green, etc. would be for either. I've noticed the same thing for nurs

    In my opinion everyone can suck it. if I am spending the big money on a carrier then it will be in the pattern and colors of my choice. People will confuse your child between male and female even if you dressed them in extremes.

    When I had my son I tried to keep all big ticket items neutral in color.  But now with my daughter I use my son's stuff, and lots of it ended up being blue, which is also one of my fave colors! I also have been using my son's old sleepers for my daug

    I tend to gravitate toward green things, so it's pretty neutral either way. As of now, I pick things out that I like, regardless of color.

    I picked black because my husband or dad will use it if it's black. I wanted the purpleish one but knew no one but me would wear it. Nothing do to with the gender of my children!

    I only have a baby Bjorn and it's in black.  I'm getting ready to purchase an ergo and will choose a grey because I want it to match any of my clothes or my husband if he will use it.  I guess I didn't think about it being gender specific or any

    I pick out gender neutral items so I can reuse them when we have other kids. I have a green Moby, for example.

    We got a red Ergo and a turquoise ring sling. I consider both colors to be neutral...we chose the colors based on what was available and what color both DH and I would (mostly DH) be comfortable in while wearing DH...and because I thought they were pretty
