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

I totally understand this... I did some work in stage lighting back in HS and learned maybe 1/1000th of what you know (seriously, complicated work there that does require a lot of know-how and skill). I'll drink with ya, but I don't drink to get drunk, at least not anymore! So no, I say you lose no "man points" on that one.

Is the OP whose Name and a nick nameis in a fuscia blend, asking about "colors"? Bitch ain't gonna fly nohow.

I have no choice in that matter and you know it! Now stop you, you're gonna hurt my feelers...

Earth to Ronin. This isn't fvcking Facebook. Lets get to the shit we care about, how's the gf/secretary?

No it is not, I'm pretty sure I'd get a lot of really retarded, liberal inspired, "sensitive" remarks to a question of "Do men get all specific and finite with what we call different colors?"

Fun fact: the average human can distinguish over 4000 shades of green, more than any other color. Which is why it drives me batshit crazy when the wife decides she's going to touch up the paint in the dining room, but uses the paint for the bedroom, which is close, but not the same. She can't see it, I can. Comes from being a darkroom photographer in another life.

As a printer, I see more color names than I care to.
I would like to slap the outta the people that name some of them !!!

Good thing the old man never wears a tie to work- business casual.

I recognize all 64 colors in a Crayola box!

Some of what you're asking is a traditional male disgust with being caught up with names of colors when we can describe it quickly as "dark", "medium" or "light" shades of a particular primary or secondary color. I used to have fun with it insisting on calling a coworker's "rust" or "copper" dresses just plain "orange" and the "lime" or whatever ones "green". It's not that I couldn't tell the difference between the shades, it's that I wouldn't take the time or bother to differentiate them.

Any red-blooded American male I know can tell the difference between Cardinal red and Redskin burgundy, Raven purple and Viking purple, Cowboy navy blue and Lion light blue.

Call that shirt pink, salmon, coral or whatever the hell you want if it makes you feel more manly. I'm more concerned by what a guy does than what he wears anyway.

This was mostly done in jest- ala Carlin or Leary style humor... Congrats Aloha, you just killed it.
