Help settle an argument- Men and colors...

[Ah Pook]

I used to work for an ex-iron worker. He proudly wore salmon, violet and periwinkle dress shirts. I would have dared you to call him anything but "Sir".

Full disclosure: I don't own anything that is "salmon" unless I screwed up the laundry.

I do. It's in the freezer.

Many moons ago, when I was looking for suit & tie jobs, I read Dress For Success. Good info on how to pair colors, what/when to wear different fabrics and classic dress styles.

Personally, my color choices are a little muted.

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?

sorry to break it to ya but there is a difference between salmon and pink . in the end your more of a carnation kind of guy

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

your not less of a man , but im down to see who can out drink who , the monkeys or the squints

just remember "no officer , the light was not red its lee126 "

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 !!!

What color tie should you wear with a Salmon shirt?

On a different tangent... Typically the most homophobic of men are the curious ones.

NPR also had a great story about people who are able to pick out way more colors than others. Anyone know, without looking it up, which animal can see the most colors on the planet? Bonus points for knowing which animal. I'll look for the NPR link of the article. It was on one of the Science Fridays I think.

Q: How many Lighting techs does it take to change a light bulb?
A: LAMP! IT'S CALLED A LAMP, WHAT ARE YOU NEW?!!

According to the United States Navy I am too color blind to work on necular purpulshion systems so I might say "salmon" would look more grey to me. I am about as color blind as it gets.
