Yes, some colors are associated with one gender over the other, but it is our culture's doing.
Like blue for boys and pink for girls. Or purple as feminine or even a gay color.
A good example of that is the other day I bought two toothbrushes, a green one and a purple one. I asked my wife which one she wanted and he said the green one.
It seems to come natural but that is how we have been raised.

It is tough when a clients asks for gender colors and as stated above it is a cultural thing we have created. When a client has asked for gender colors I tend to go more soft/pastel for girls and darker tones for guys. doesn't always work, for example I did this one logo for a company they wanted a gender girlish color theme. The end design ....company chose the black and white with no color! You never know
