Default men and women and colours.....

why do women seem to see about a million colours that arent there?

For instance.....

I would describe beige as "light brown" and chocolate as "dark brown"

Magnolia, cream and ivory are all essentially the same, theyre all "off white"

I dont understand how you can pore over paint charts for hours and hours looking at 6 colours that are all the same

hahah, mate, when I bought my house with the misses she wanted off white, found all these charts etc

I said, whack maggy up, but oh no, i don't want that she says. She spends 70 quid on some paint, and when it was up says 'I hate it'.

I went and bought a tenners worth of maggy and it was perfect.
