blackfemalescientist:this-book-has-been-loved:kissmymahogany:koopat911:Notice only 20 shades of grayIt’s been proven that women actually have an acute ability to pick up subtle differences in colorsIn response to that last comment^^Yes. It comes from the Hunter-Gatherer days.Women were the gatherers. They had to be able to discern between the different shades of colors to know which plants were poisonous and which were not.Men were out hunting, so they didn’t have to worry about that.Which is why women see “Blood orange” and “crimson” and “scarlet” etc while guys just see “red”.I doubt that since in most hunter gatherer societies looking for food wasn’t divided so starkly by gender. It could be genetic or it could be that women are often given tasks that involve sorting things into colors so they’re better at it.The guy who scoffs at blood orange and says “it’s red!” hijacked a TARDIS and went to the African savanna a few million years ago with a paint sample chart. Every time he encountered an apparent male who could make fine distinctions between colors, he kicked that person in the genitals so hard they could not reproduce. -- source link
