This fiasco about "Raven Blue" made me think of another aspect about women that can be somewhat annoying.
You go shopping with a woman, and they pull something off of the rack and ask "what color is this to you?" So, being a logical male, you see a shade of blue, and you say "blue". Then they get in a hissy because "it's not blue, it's "RAVEN" blue, or "OCEAN" blue, or "SKY" blue. And you're just like, "yeah, ok". And then when they see that you don't care about something stupid like that they get all upset with you and start whining.
Does it really matter? Blue is blue to us. We have more important things to put into our memories then the slightly different shades of blue or red or purple. There are just the main colors to us, everything else falls under those. "Plum" is purple to us, we don't care what it's labled as, it's purple. Raven blue is still simply blue, if it werent' blue then it wouldn't have the world "blue" in the title. It's just a different shade of blue that has the word "raven" thrown into the title because it will appeal to all the loser goths who think black birds are cool because of "The Crow" and other movies like that.
Anyway, arbitrary color shades don't matter, and they never will.

Part of what I do involves painting and working with colours so I kinda have to know all the names for different shades. I guess it's the world you live in huh. I get what you're saying but fact is it's not blue....hehe it's raven blue. 😆
