Hope this gives you a smile to start the day with!
What's with this female obsession of keeping up apperances(decorating). I would like to think that visitors come around to see how I'm doing and not the new colour scheme in the lounge. The wifey rang me last week to tell me that she had a surprise for me, there was me thinking she has got me something for the zebras. When I got home I was presented with a bucket of paint and told this is the nice new colour I picked for the lounge. Another thing what's with these alternative names for colours. Soft apple is green, stone is grey and lilac is just bloody purple. Ooops I'm ranting again .
I really wouldn't know Adam.... When I move in to a new home, I decide on how I want it to be, and that's still how I want it to be now 5 years later.
So I see your point there Adam - but come on... about the colours, you can tell the difference between pink and red right? I know you can - you wouldn't wear a pink shirt for anything in the world right? But a red one? might think about it hey And there's several shades in between. Personally I don't like red, but I still got "red" walls in my livingroom - but it's a very dark red color. I know you can tell the difference, don't blame the marketing departments decision on what to call the color on us women
I bet there's men working there as there's money to be made! *runs and hides covering her head* The torch is thrown on the flamable subject that this is!

I'm with you on that one Adam. Our livingroom is poainted a "Period Colour - Egyption Sand" and out hallway is "Tapestry Thread". Roughly translated into the male colour chart of mustard and cream!!!! A female friend of mine arrived at the house one day and turned round to Jen and said..."wow is that Tepstry thread... I was thinking about that for my livingroom"!!! Although I can't complain about he DIY. I was the one that talked my wife into letting us buy an old deralict farmhose to renovate. It's a twenty year project..

Don't get me wrong I do actually like a bit of DIY. That said I much prefer doing the essential things like plastering plumbing etc. It's the constant colour changes that do my head in, to be fair it doesn't take long but it just seems pointless. Mind you if it keeps the peace I'm all for that.
As for your colour theory McEve I'm afraid that it just doesn't hold water.
My male friends come around, not allowed to have female friends anymore, and they don't even notice the colour changes. Wifey's friends come around and it's oooh like the new colour in the lounge/kitchen/broom cupboard or whatever. My point is that women have more of a fixation/obsession about colours. Therefore the board of directors at Dulux paint Corp are definately all women.
Just as a test I rang up the wifey a minute ago and asked her what colour she was thinking about painting the hall. Guess what she said? Biscuit, now what bloody colour is that?
