More pink and blue and less yellow and green for infants, for example. That's probably in part due to more parents knowing whether they're expecting a boy or a girl. The other trend I've noticed is more parents trying to go all pink for infant girls with little hair, as if it really matters at that age whether others perceive them as boys or girls.
