Colour

I was having this discussion with the ladies in my office the other day and I was wondering. How many colours do we see? There are black and white. There’s always red, yellow, green and blue. Other than that are not colours. Peach is a fruit. Lavender is a flower. Pumpkin is a type of vegetable (or was it fruit). Orange is also a fruit. What else? And if you have gone shopping lips stick with your wife, you’ll know the colour they have for the lips stick.

I mean, most men only see at least the basic colour. So, if the wife go and ask the man to buy say a peach dress, if the man gets it wrong, don’t scold him. It’s not his fault when he only knows the basic colour. I wonder how women can see so many colours. The list of colours goes on and on. The following will be some of the colours (I can remember) women see: -

1) Rose;
2) Pink;
3) Pink Rose (combination between pink and rose);
4) Wine (it’s a kind of drink);
5) Peach;
6) Beige (what is the difference between beige and cream?);
7) Cream (is eatable);
8) Lavender (like I say it’s a flower);
9) Turquoise (I don’t know whether I spelled it properly or not);
10) Charcoal (it’s a form of fuel);
11) Blueberry;
12) White;
13) Off white (I mean how off can it be? It is still white);
14) Sand white;
15) Sunflower (isn’t that yellow?);
16) Pearl (it’s a kind of jewellery);
17) Cherry; and

So many more colours invented for the ladies. I know some men do keep track of the colours but I have lost count and we are not counting the shades yet. If not red will have 100 colour shades. Blue will have another 100 colour shades. Green will have 200 colour shades and so on and so forth.
