is there any tactful(?) way of avoiding seas of pink when havig a baby girl? already people are saying "Ohh you'll be wanting to paint their room pink/get nice pink clothes" etc

I'm not ungrateful.

but would much rather avoid pink as much as possible, for fearo f being drowned in it!

I much prefer the bright and bold patterns you see around (see examples on pictures)

how to nicely say.... no bloody pink!

Why did you announce the sex? My DD is 20 now but we didn't get told at the scan (only one in those days), so it was easy to say 'A baby' when asked if we knew what we were having, and thus most 'stuff' was bought in neutral.
Thereafter we bought anything that she liked, she's never liked pink glitter or fluffy stuff, doesn't mind unicorns as she likes horses, but blue/grey are her favourite colours to wear, and would rather a tractor over pink anything any day.
