If all seems to be going well, you obviously have no idea what is really
happening.

I'm male, don't use complicated colour descriptions with me. I only know 8 words to describe a colour.

That's not an effect of the Y chromosome, but of a bad education, caused
by the general Anglo-Saxon suspicion of anything artistic. I know all
about that, I went to school in England, but was fortunate to also go to
school in Austria. Luckily for me, the bad effects of the two systems
canceled each other out, the good effects complemented each other.

No, I'm just not fussy. For example, a woman will say "that colour doesn't "go" with that colour". Why? How can one colour be wrong when viewed near another?

This exchange was overheard between the separated sections of the jail.
A male voice yells over to the female side: "I got 12 inches over here you would love to have."
The female response was: "Well, spit it out it isn't yours."

very easily and has nothing to do with females and everything to do
with colour theory.

doesn't "go" with that colour". Why? How can one colour be wrong when
viewed near another?

Colour perception, the effects of what the rods (brightness) and cones
(colour) in the retina report, and how the brain calculates what's out
there. Brain function is partly learned, partly hard-coded. The
hard-coded part includes the calculation of the "correct" colour when
the actual colours (as measured by spectrometers) are different. That's
why you see the same colours in the shade as in bright sun. Spectrometer
shows they're different.

It's really quite complicated. The learned part includes the "men don't
care about colours" stereotype. For some reason, some men are more
stereotypical than others. Dunno why, but it should be obvious that
given any culturally determined stereotype, some people will find it
very easy to conform, some very difficult, and most somewhere in
between. IOW, the most and least "masculine" men in any given culture
are outliers. In most non-Anglo-saxon cultures, well, the ones I know
anyway, men are not expected to be indifferent to colour.

I have 20-20 vision according to my optician, but choice of colour is nothing to do with my eyesight, it's to do with me realising that it really just doesn't matter what colour something is. I can tell the difference between two tones of colour only one RGB bit apart, but I'd call them both "purple" and not use hundreds of names to describe variations. If I want my room painted a certain colour, I don't care how accurate it is, as long as it's roughly light blue, cream, whatever. I don't go for the Dulux "sunset orange" ****. Light, medium, and dark orange at the very most.

BTW, did you know that about 4% of women have _four_ types of cone cells
instead of the usual three? Of course you know that more men than women
have defective colour vision (cone cell issues).

Yes and yes. Actually about 5 years ago I believed ALL women had 4 cones, which explained why they were so damn fussy, now I realise that's a myth and most women are just moany.

FTR, there are colour combinations that, er, disturb me. Really.

Why? My point above was that no matter how you perceive colours, they're just ways of you distinguishing one object from another. There's no logical reason to prefer one colour to another, or to dislike one colour being next to another. Saying you can't wear a shirt of colour X with trousers of colour Y doesn't make sense. When I buy a car I don't choose it on the colour, it matters nothing to me whatsoever, I go by things like price, power, reliability, size, condition, etc. The only reason to me for having cars of different colours is so I can more easily find mine in a car park.

I was once asked "How many colors are there?". A difficult question,
which many people can't answer, they've confused "how many colors" with
"how many WORDS for colors". 2^24 (16,777,216) is a better answer than that.

I agree with 2^24, that seems to be as much as the eye can distinguish.

I have a red pickup. The manufacturer calls the color "victory red"
(IIRC). I have no idea how "victory red" differs from red. I have a red
pickup.

I once sold a red car in "mint condition", which to my knowledge it was. However the buyer had OCD and spotted one of the 15 clips that held the rear bumper on had snapped, so it was hanging about 2mm lower at one end. I offered him a bit of money off the selling price so he could get a new bumper, but then he asked me what colour the car was. When I looked at him funny and said "er.... red" he got rather irritable and wanted some kind of colour code so he could match the paint precisely. In the end I told him to get lost and sold it to someone else.
