Pink does not mean 'Femininsm': it's used by advertisers among others...
Colours are a very powerful tool in advertising and media because they are so strongly perceived and have deep, subconscious associations, some of which are cultural, others which are civilisational (cross-cultural). If you are unaware of 'the racket' then look for the money. The services of 'colour consultancies' are very expensive. They work with commerical publishers and media organisations. Colour associations run deep in the subconscious - something to remember when you're doing it for the red, white or the blue.

Red is the most attractive colour, apparently.

Colours are deeply culture-specific. You learn most association in early infanthood which is one reason why fast food advertising etc is banned in many schools and kindergartens around the world - it makes extensive use of colour and simple designs that stick or reinforce what's already there.
The Swedish flag is blue and yellow for I think, but I don't think there is a Martian flag.
