langraffe on May 20, 2026 9:44 am Am I looking too much into this or is it that girls don’t like green and boys and girls basically only agree on the colors of the sky/dawn/dusk?
captainfarthing on May 20, 2026 9:53 am It seems to show different preferences for saturation as well as hue but that’s been disregarded in the agree/disagree charts. I also don’t understand what axis relates to saturation, or what depth on the cube shape represents. Why use a 3D shape instead of a colour wheel?

For me the biggest surprise is that girls don’t like green.
Oh man, I’m a girl?
This is not what I had on my bingo card.
