As best we can tell, blue was the most popular color for the floppy bows worn by merican boys. Quite a few of the colorized portraits we have found show boys wearing blue bows. This is still a preliminary assessment as we have only sarchived a small number of colorized images. There are of course many shades of blue. The blues used for floppy bows seem primarily the lighter shades at least in the colorized images we have found to date. This is probably becuse ligh blue contrasted best with dark suits. We are not sure why blue was so popular. We are not sure it was a ender matter. Girls also wore blue bows, but the large floppy collar bows were most popular for boys.
