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? 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 came real close to seeing Elvis, then my shovel broke. |

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. -- Peter is listening to "The club can't handle me - Flo Rida feat. David Guetta" |
