Why do straight men think that lipstick has only one color?

The heavy makeup in the eyes of the more straightforward boys is just our lipstick, whether you are on Weibo or WeChat, you can always hear girls vomiting like this. Not only that, but in the eyes of girls, lipsticks of various colors have their own characteristics and are unique. However, in straight men.

In the eyes, the only difference is "red" and "not red". These people are also known as the new generation of "color blindness."

For girls, lipstick has tens of millions of color numbers, and different red numbers should be rubbed on different occasions, so be very serious! But for the majority of straight men, there are only two colors in their eyes.

Why are straight men less sensitive to color? In the age of high-speed information.

The amount of information we receive every day is about 220,000 GB. Such terrible data makes the screen our second set of eyes and one of the most important ways we touch colors. If the colors displayed on the screen are monolithic and unrealistic, then the new generation of "color blindness" will not be sensitive to the color of lipsticks that are not very touched.

In other words, perhaps in their eyes, the leaves are only red, green, and yellow in color.

In contemporary society, straight men think that the color of lipstick is no different, so they call it red. For example, when straight men see orange lipstick, they will think that the red of this color is red, and their eyes do not have this nuance.

In fact, for boys and girls, there is a difference not only in red numbers, but also in other aspects of life. Boys tend to think rationally, while women tend to think emotionally, which leads to different worlds for both sides.

As the saying goes, I'm used to it. You can only be sensitive to color if you see rich colors frequently. This explains why there are more than ten kinds of lipstick in the eyes of girls, such as bright red, tile red, rose red, aunt red, ochre, bright pink, positive pink, etc.

Whereas, straight men have only bright red, pink, and light red eyes.

Because the most classic color of lipstick is red, and the lipstick color that straight men see is basically red.

Because straight men think that lipstick is just packaged differently. And the effect of the upper lip makes straight men feel that they are all the same.

Because such men are more upright and straightforward, and they don't pay much attention to these things of girls, they feel that lipstick has only one color in their memory.

Straight men feel that lipstick has only one color, because people will have a deep understanding of what they are interested in, and straight men are not interested in lipstick, so they naturally can't understand so many colors.

Mainly because in the eyes of straight men, they have no concept of color, and they think that lipstick only increases the girl's complexion.

Because the color of lipstick is generally the same as everything, it is either red or pink, and I don't study this and am not interested. It is decided based on the contours of our face.

It may be because straight men have a relatively simple understanding of lipstick, thinking that lipstick basically only has one color. colorants.

Because the difference between lipstick numbers is very subtle, it is really difficult to distinguish the color if you don't pay attention; The shade of color is based on the ratio of the materials used in the lipstick, and it is also related to the human skin.

Now, there are always girls who dislike people because the boys around them can't distinguish the lipstick number, you want grapefruit color and he gives you Barbie powder, you apply aunt color but he says you are poisoned ......There are countless such things, and in desperation, have you ever thought that this is actually not a boy's "pot".

A foreign study shows that although humans can distinguish millions of colors, it is difficult to accurately remember the shade of color. At Johns Hopkins University, a cognitive psychology research team led by Jonathan Flombau found that humans don't actually remember what color their eyes see, but unconsciously memorize colors in their minds that favor "standard colors" based on hues such as cool and warm colors.

For example, when humans see sky blue, navy blue, royal blue, and ultramarine blue at the same time, although they can distinguish different colors, the brain will remember all of them as a single color - "blue". The same can be said for other colors such as green and pink.

The research team conducted an experiment on memorizing colors: first, the subjects were asked to have a 180-color color wheel, and then they selected the six colors they thought were the most "standard" blue, pink, green, purple, orange, and yellow; The subjects were then shown the colors on the staining plate for only a second, and then asked to look for the colors they were looking at in the color wheel.

The results of the experiment showed that the subject had difficulty remembering colors accurately, and it was easy to choose colors that were close to what they thought was the "standard color". In addition, the closer the color displayed on the board is to the "standard color", the easier it is to remember the shade of the color accurately. Flombaum said:

Although humans can distinguish millions of colors, it is difficult to remember colors accurately because the brain remembers them and divides them into rough types. ”

And, Flombaum commented, "Because people memorize colors according to large categories such as 'blue' or 'green', when we recall the colors or objects in our memory, the memory quickly recalls the large categorical colors." "In addition to color, it has been proven that when humans see many things at once, they also divide them into categories to remember.

This is not because the brain does not have enough memory capacity, but because the brain unifies what it sees and what it has remembered from the past in the category of "one word".

Speaking of which, many girls should say why do we know the lipstick color ourselves? That's because of girls' love for lipstick! Think about how many times you have browsed through magazines and web pages over and over again, and how many times you have tried it again and again in the mall, all of which have deepened your brain's memory.

And because boys usually don't pay attention, when they see that large piece of lipstick of various colors, they may only have one word in their minds - red ......

If you don't believe me, you can recall the color of the walls or curtains in your room outside and you will find that you can't recall the exact shade of color, and as a result, "when the room is fitted with store-bought curtains, it doesn't look the same as you imagined." Flombaum suggests that when you want to know the color accurately, "just shoot ** to record"!
