Color Blind

It appears that I like the color of rose gold jewelry. Recently while browsing at a local Dillard's store with the GF, I saw some "copper" colored jewelry and mentioned as to how I liked the "copper tone" of the earings.
The first thing she says to me is that its color is actually Rose Gold. (I forgot she used to work behind a jewelry counter at one time.) To me it reminds me of copper. Depending as to how much light hits it, it either looks like a shiny new penny with a hue of pink or a slightly used and dirtied penny turning a bit yellow.
I guess men see color in less shades than women do. Men can see, for example, blue in either standard form, light, or dark. Women can see glittery, shimmer, pastel, turquoise, aqua, midnight, and i'm sure a thousand more.
Now whenever i'm asked as to what the color looks like to me, I respond with- "normal?...dark?...light?..."
I'm colorfully confused.

@Plethos I love all metals, and stones.
But I understand, some just do not like the look or feel.
Yes you were missed!

I think most men see as many colors as most women, we just don't have any reason to care about subtle differences in shades. I understand though why the differences matter to people in some industries though. For me they never have mattered, but I'm color blind so color isn't going to matter so much to me. lol

Yep, men see fewer colors and usually have fewer descriptions of the colors they do see. We love you guys anyway.

I like how copper shows up in different shades in the sunlight. I do agree that women tend to see more shades than men.

@Plethos oh, thank haha. i tend to wear more silver than gold, i think it goes better with my complexion. maybe if i find a lighter rose gold, that could work? I'll give it a shot haha

@Plethos I have always wonder if we all see the same things. I don´t much believe in complete objectivity.

i've read about rose gold too and couldn't see the difference, but in your picture, yes, it's like copper to me.
