My girlfriend just pointed out that this isn't true for us.

Or for any other couple where the man has spent years studying color theory or art.

Same thing for me, I studied art so I see the variation in all the colors, though I wouldn't use those silly names for them (moss, flora, honeydew, etc.).

My favorite part of talking colors is when I say there is some red in that yellow, and maybe a little more blue.

Or some other assortment where people then look at me funny.

Do you know any good resources for color theory? I've always been terrible at it, but I'd like to know more.

haha, you're the exception to this because you're not heterosexual! How many fucks could possibly be given will never be known by you alone. It's 0, by the way.

I think the lowest green one is blue, am I colorblind?

[–]jbtoronto 0 points1 point ago

Nope, you're just confused by the name "seam foam."

[–]akvaod -1 points0 points ago

Red, purple, pink ...?

Start with ROYGBIV.
Realize you can't tell indigo from violet, call them both purple.
End with ROYGP.

Let others refer to colors with hex numbers and crayola monikers.

I seem to recall reading (if anything here is wrong or incorrect please let me know) that the configuration of rods and cones in the eye is usually different between a male and a female. Men have more rods and thus can see better at night (better differentiation between contrasts) and women have more cones and can literally see more colors (due to simply receiving more color data).

Interestingly enough (somewhat related), cats do have some cones in their eyes (but their brains don't really know how to decode the color information. Through lots of training, though, some scientists have been able to get cats to recognize color differences and respond appropriately. Their ability to see awesomely in the dark is due not only to a higher concentration of rods in the eyeball but also to structural differences in the eye: a wider-dilating pupil, reflective inner lining of the eyeball itself, etc.

Dogs on the other hand see "color" but more along the lines of what someone who is colorblind might experience. More accurately, it's like using a sepia tone filter on your camera. Not so much removing the hue of colors to make it black and white, but shifting it so everything is tinted kind of red and gray.
