I never knew that women thought about colors so much. I don't really get it...

It's saying women are fascinated with colors and clothes and crap, while men actually think.
I forgot the last time I found something in H&J that was making the women look bad! :lol: :p
Sorry girls!

Well it's true. Women do have a far wider appreciation of colors. And they have names for every subtle shade difference. And they can actually tell them apart too. :eek:

My own color vocabulary is limited to about 12 plus a few shades and tints. When asked for a particular color I usually just pick two or more primary colors, let Photoshop do a blend, then choose from the resulting range. I get a result but have no bloody idea what it's supposed to be called. If asked to duplicate it I refer to the RGB or CMYK values. :D And yet I'm supposed to be sort of an artist.... :p

I just did a search for "colors names" on google and I came to a list of HTML colors and their names. Apparently "peru" is a shade kinda like orange.

But don't ask me about colors. My color vocabulary states that everything is black green red blue yellow or orange.

From observing my mom and younger sister I find my list to be correct. I constatly hear mom and sis talking about whether that flower is "redish-yellow" or "orangeish-red" :rolleyes: ;)

I hope I didn't offend anybody. That of course wasn't the point. It's just a little humor. ;)

Like I said, it IS true. And they should actually be proud of it. :)

It’s a scientific fact the women can see a bit more colors the males. “Females have a slightly lower threshold of the firing for the cones, however, and can see a bit more color than males.”
