Oh well. You have colors, we have math and computers. Pfft!
By "color separation" I don't mean naming different shades of green. That's probably the dumbest thing I've heard today, and someone pointed out that you're probably a Maddox fan and have very little idea what you're talking about beyond what you read on some rant site.

By "color separation" I mean that if you look at two incredibly similar shades of a color side by side (say, #02FF36 and #02FF42), about half of all women would have a change at being able to tell a difference vs. only about 8-10% of men. The rest of the population would see two of the same color.

Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors or here: http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm


And compare with the tormented shield.


It falls somewhere between pink and purple.

That's what I'm talking about. Why name a color "olive" if it's just a bit darker green? Sure, if you show those colors next to each other, everyone will tell the difference. But try to show them on seperate occassions, only the girls will notice which one is olive and which one is green. And name them. Because you might me wrong and when you say green, it's actually emerald. Or when you say it's olive, it's a dark khaki.

Who/What is Maddox? I've read about the lipstick thing in a Polish magazine, so it's probably not the same.

Because the name "olive" speaks to people?

Lol, that's good.

I chose a green color, slided it down to make it black... DEEP FOREST GREEN. The funniest thing, I've showed that black color (it's black...) and she said it's a very dark green. Oh come the hell on...

Or like why some girls say I'm a dark blond. I'm not. I'm dark brunette, damn it.

You REALLY need to stop talking. You weren't able to understand the conversation from the start, and you keep perpetuating your idiocy with every post you make. Best to just stop posting in this thread altogether before everyone realizes how dumb you are.

Jesus Christ, mellow out. Do you have a social life if you insult everyone around you for no reason?

It's the glowing version of purple. If it was pink it would look like a glowing version of pink. You might not see it right if your game gamma or monitor gamma or color balance is really poor or something though, which is poor color adjustment on your part.
