Color perception arbitrary?

The biggest one being about the green (definitely GREEN) wrapping paper I used for her gifts at Christmas, which she insisted was blue. It was fucking GREEN!
And my RED umbrella is NOT fucking pink.

I read some article about a year ago that a certain percentage of women can see more colors in the red-brown spectrum than everyone else. No men can say the same about this ability.

So if you have a female friend that has what seems an over abundance of brownish boots, purses, coats, or whatnot, they may be one.

I've become convinced my wife is one of these women.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
