That chart actually force me to look at the key multiple times. Perhaps I am tired but I kept wanting to use the top key "female" for the top line within the chart....strange.

The obvious way to make the charts easier to interpret would be to use pink and blue.
Who knows why the author used green and yellow - feels 'blue for a boy and pink for a girl' is outdated and sexist, or just likes green and yellow better, or they're the default from their charting program, or a chosen colour scheme for the blog. But there's no doubt (for readers in the English-speaking world and who knows how many countries) what would be clearer, to the point of hardly needing a key.
