Go to the original visualization at http://www.datapointed.net/visualizations/color/men-women-co... and sort by popularity. This enables you to see colors that are gender-outliers for how popular they are - the most popular colors tend to be near gender parity (or in this case a bit skewed male) whereas the less popular colors are all over the place.

One of the colors you'll see along the bottom edge of that cloud of points - meaning it's rather male among colors of its popularity - is "light red".

Men don't even want to say pink.
