Re: Color Chart

LOL...how true. We were playing pool one night and I don't know what the numbers are on the different colors.....my DH told me to shoot at the red ball well I shot at the wrong red ball - it was the "burgandy" one and I told him that....well the guys immediately.....started to say stuff like shoot at the grape ball or the lemon ball. *idiots*

Re: Color Chart

I know this is nothing to do with quilting but it did give me quite a laugh today. We are renovating our bathroom and it came time to choose the colour for the walls. I want a very light aqua sort of colour but hubbie was set on blue or green. The ensuing conversation reminded me of this colour chart. We've ended up with a light "bluey-green"! I know you will all understand the colour I mean!!!!!

I met Pat for dinner the other day and his outfit clashed big time. His response: But honey, it's all blue, how can it clash?

Let me guess - if you are female you would call it aqua? LOL Now you are both happy - you got the color you wanted, but just can't call it aqua unless you are talking to other females outside of his hearing. :)

Love this thread

Re: Color Chart

So true! I think they see the colors are different, the just don' know the names. I used the word teal in a conversation with a man once, and had to find something in the room of that color to give him a visual. My brother is, however, completely color blind. I think he sees everything in sepia tones. I can't even imagine.

Re: Color Chart

Oh my stars!!! The color chart is hilarious. Must be something about guys, my DH calls anything in the purple/ mauve range, as 'purple'..It's all purple!! .we had quite a time several years ago matching flooring. DH thinks clashing means matching! Good grief!

Re: Color Chart

Hmmm, I don't know what to say about this. For so many guys its true. I have a little trouble with the lavender vs. gillyflower. I don't know what that says about me...

Re: Color Chart

Thanks for this, Joyce! I work for a company that distributes fine art supplies. One summer during his college years, my son worked in our warehouse doing inventory counts. After the first week, he sputtered, "Canary, light canary, medium bright canary, sunflower, dark sunflower, sunshine, light sunshine, lemon, dark bright lemon... COME ON, PEOPLE, IT'S YELLOW!!"

Umm... no, James, it's not... :D

OMG, mine does, too!! Apparently, lots of guys have that problem. True story: My husband is a school principal. One year, one of the parents (a dad, of course!) volunteered to order the graduation gowns. Several of the school board members thought burgundy would be nice; so the fellow of course ordered "purple." My DS#1 was NOT happy that he wore "Barney Purple" to his high school graduation!

This year they got navy...

Re: Color Chart

A few years ago I had posted a group picture online and a guy asked "Are you the one in the red shirt?" And, after scratching my head for a few minutes I replied, "Yes, but that's a black and white picture, how in the heck did you know my shirt was red?" And he said "Oh, I'm colour blind, I didn't realize it was a black and white photo". So I chalked it up to a weird occurence and never thought any more about it. Then a few years ago when I was in college we had started a new Microsoft course and one of my classmates (I was only the second girl in the entire history of the program) yells out "SIR! WHY IS THIS BOOK F'N PINK?!?" So I look at my book (it's grey), look at his book (still grey), scratch my head a little more, then it clicks. "YOU'RE COLOUR BLIND!" So from that day on whenever we started a new course I asked him what colour the book was :icon_giggle:
