Sorry everyone, but I had to laugh as I read this :-) Personally, I don't think what we're drawn to has much to do with gender- we all have those color combinations we're drawn to- and these vary all the time, sometimes novelty prints catch our eye, and sometimes not; solids, prints, organics - traditional, contemporary, modern, retro. For me it depends on the day and the mood I'm in: my approach is to almost always ask, ask, ask questions until I have a good idea of what will appeal to the person, especially if they don't have a particular design or color combination picked out.
