A couple of things

* Perhaps they should be sorted? Possibly by gender (male/female/male   female), possibly by color.
* TrueBlueFemininity, GracefulLadiesLikePurple, PinkMeansFeminine should be grouped together?
* PinkBoyBlueGirl is not an example, despite the name. 
* I disagree with the inclusion of LittleBlackDress. These have to do with the associations of this color in general: black is considered a very fashionable, classy color on any gender. It doesn't mean anything particular to women. 
* I disagree with the inclusion of LightFeminineDarkFeminine. That is about personality, not coloration. It is not particular to gender, even: lighter colors symbolize a lighter personality, darker colors = darker personality. This is true across genders.
* WinterRoyalLady doesn't belong. Yes, blues and whites are common, but that is simply due to the association with winter and ice, which is across the board. See AnIcePerson. 
* Are we including hair color tropes like RedHeadedHero and RoseHairedGirl?

Essentially, this supertrope should be about gender and color ''when gender is relevant'' to why they're wearing that color. For instance, red is always seen as a seductive color, but is still only worn by women. White on a woman denotes ethereal qualities as that trope is written. White on a man simply means he's very significant. However, WinterRoyalLady almost always includes two particular colors, but the colors signify nothing about her gender. The colors aren't relevant to the gender--the gender part of the trope is relevant to the classiness.
