Sooooooo true!
Over the 8-year span of our relationship, I have trained myself to go the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) route when identifying colors to my other half.
And you can see how a possible trichromat as myself would find this extremely difficult.

I’m 65, been married to the same wonderful woman for 42 years. And yes I only see the grade school primary colors, can only dance the two-set, and can only three notes (flat, flat-flat, and flat-flat-flat). Oh well, how she still puts up with me I’ll never know.

So now true, I’m a girl and I do classify my colours like the “guy” side!

I agree with you! OTN, I’m not even really a tom-boy or anything like that. Who calls a color “moss” anyway? Lol

It’s actually been proven that the majority of men cannot see as many distinct colors as the majority of women.

i think this whole thing is pretty sexist in thinking that all men dont see colors the same way men do. and you have all your colors wrong, you should separate by tint, grey, shade and mutes. that teal should be a lot closer to blue than the spindrift. ~(b.s. visual communications)

You think it’s sexist to say that men don’t see colours the same way as men?
You’re not making any sense, man!

post, “How Men and Women See Colors | Geek in Heels”.
Would you mind in cases where I reallyemploy a number of of your
points? Thanks for your effort -Jasmine

So…Women see colors much more vibrant and colorful than men? If this is so…How can we really test this? I do not think this is possible unless I can see thru my wife’s eyes. Then and only then will I be able to tell a difference. Does anyone have a better test?
