Kochu sometime back told strongly that guys are colour blinded and cant see beyond 7 colours. Since that day, i am testing her prophecy and amazingly she's atleast 80% correct.
For guys, all the colours they know are VIBGYOR - violet-Indigo-blue-green-yellow-orange-red. Then add the word light or dark to it...now its done. I checked with few more people and i am relatively correct.
Few observations:
1) People from south, Rose colour means pink colour.
2) Silver is not a colour, its a metal.
3) The colour of silver is referred as shining white.
4) No idea about mauve\beige. Mauve means light violet and beige means light brown.
5) There's no ash color, its either light grey or dark grey.
6) Skin colour can be categorized as white, yellow, black, brown. no tan is accepted ;)
Well, there are lots to add to it. but yeah, to certain extent we are colour blinded, no issues, it makes our life little easy !!!!
