Who does she think she is? Derry Irvine?
Had this with SWMBO many times. Men see colours - blue, red, green, yellow etc. Women see shades - aqua, crimson, sage daffodil
Two years ago, in preparation for our kitchen to be refitted, we spent days tramping around every tile store within a 100km radius. When ComdHomeFront finally settled on the one that would give the kitchen “something special”, I noted that it was rather more expensive than the “functional” stuff that I proposed but I was at the point of agree or cut my wrists. I will be eternally grateful to the assistant at the ordering point for very discretely checking that we were aware that the price for that particular product was marked up “per tile (30 x 20 cm)” rather than per m2. A dramatic difference when ordering approx 10m2. Three weeks later, I found something that she was prepared to live with.
Man were programmed to Windows 3, 8 primary colours and nothing else
For mine "something special" is "nice" and "functional" is "cheap".
We were perusing the colour charts when my wife pointed to a warm shade of grey and said “what about this one?” I agreed it was fine and checked the name. Elephant Breath.
Which is a larf, really.
My Mrs is exactly the same.
I got a severe tutting when I corrected one at work.
It seems I am a man, then. Ho hum. (I identify as female, because I am.)
You're not flattering him.
