Proposed experiment:

1) Provide a matrix of all 32 colors and a list of the 16 color terms. Ask people to pick the tile that best matches each color term.

2) Provide the matrix of colored icons/logos that uses the new palate, and the same matrix using the old palate. Ask people to pick the prettier matrix.

I don't think the new palate has any chance of winning the first contest. It might win the second. Perhaps that's the point.





Interesting stuff. Thanks. The section on gender differences is hilarious!
