Help settle an argument- Men and colors...

[Ronin13]

Okay, this should be fun, but I need help settling an argument. Do men (and I mean traditional, manly, eat beef, shoot guns, MEN) recognize all these mamby pamby shades of colors? I mean seriously, is "Salmon" a freaking color? I say it's pink. You can try and gussy it up and call it salmon, or coral, or whatever, but when you get down to the brass tacks, it's goddamn pink, crayola boy! WTF is periwinkle? That is blue. So is sky blue, ocean blue, and girly ass baby blue. I consider variations to be "light blue", "dark blue", maybe Navy blue, or "gay/girlie blue." The boss man is wearing a pink shirt today, but he says coral, brother says salmon, I say bullshit, it's pink. What say ye men of Sherwood Forest?

I'm so damn color blind, I can only see about 50% of the numbers in those color blindness plates, but I agree, there are only different lightness of the color, as you explain. Light blue dark blue dark red etc. etc etc.

There is no argument from me. If a dude needs to call pink "coral" or "salmon", which are THINGS, not colors, then he needs to go back to grade school or rent a backbone. Coffee is a drink, not a color. I have no idea what periwinkle is, but it sounds like a urinary problem and I only assume you spelled it right because I copied it from you.

I heard it in a movie once I think, or was it from a girl? Either way, yes! I love the way you worded that. The brother saw the picture I texted him and he said "No, dad's wear a salmon colored shirt." I said, "that's a fish, not a color. It's pink."

Why don't we just call a spade a spade and call the color "vagina" and go from there

Well, while I normally wouldn't use terms like salmon etc, I can understand different hues can need different names. For instance, to me, pink tends to be the color between red and purple, whereas salmon would be...I dunno, a bit more orangey. Periwinkle...perhaps a whiter light-blue, that one I don't really know.

My expanded color palette is forced my by career choice........


When you do lights you see a lot more color.. it's the job.

IF this makes me less manly.. lets grab the bottles of whiskey and see who falls down first LOL

Once you go beyond the three primary colors and the three secondary colors, you have entered the zone.
And, no it's not violet, it's PURPLE.
