Scientists have established undeniable evidence of how women and men see colors in different ways. The stronger sex has a truncated division of shades. Whereas the representatives of the weak half distinguish even the slightest gradient. This is due to the structure of the visual organ and the processing of objects by the brain: everything happens differently.
Why is that
In the eyes of the fairer sex contains a huge number of color-responsive cells. A strong half can very poorly describe at least 5 shades of the same color. Men simply do not attach this value due to the physiological characteristics of the body.
As the colors of women and men see, one can understand by examining the visual structure of both sexes. A comparison of the results showed:
- Women notice objects with peripheral vision, and men have tunnel concentration.
- Side objects in the weaker sex are within the angle of 180 degrees, and the male review is no more than 45.
What are the facts about men? The prey, the hunter is adapted to search for the victim. He is better at driving a car, concentrating on moving objects. Long distances are not a problem for a warrior. But a wide viewing angle gives more diffused attention. To this is added a larger number of cones and rods, responsible for the shades.
Feature of vision in the stronger sex
Researchers have proven that susceptibility depends on testosterone levels. He sets how the colors of women and men see. From here, a person builds a model of accepting only the basic shades.
Due to the peculiarities of tunnel vision , fatigue of the visual organ occurs rapidly. Researchers noted, according to statistics, men are more likely to meet a defect in the visual organ - color blindness. It is due to heredity or manifests itself as a result of trauma.
There is a difference in how the colors of women and men see - for the latter, only 7 primary colors are important. Shades are important for the weaker sex, so there is a huge selection of nail polish, hair colors.
The essence of color blindness
You can check on your own how the colors of women and men see. The photo has several shades. When interviewing husbands, it turns out that pink, burgundy for them will always be red. Similar answers are heard when looking at gray species, of which there are more than 500.
In humans, there are two types of gene responsible for color perception: X and Y, respectively, responsible for red and other components of the spectrum. Women have two Xs, and men have 2 different chromosomes X and Y. Color blindness is often a congenital pathology that occurs when the X gene is damaged. Since the weaker sex has these 2 components, then they have a disease in very rare cases.
Based on the peculiarities of how the colors of men and women see, the picture for the latter is more colorful at close range. A strong floor with a narrow field of view focuses on moving objects. Therefore, some watch action films, chases, fights and football. And the latter prefer static pictures from Indian TV shows.
Classification of pathologies
Women and men see colors differently, dichromants are often found - not able to determine one of the main shades. So, people with pathology of the visual organ are divided into the following types:
- Those suffering from protanopia - do not see red, the color merges with blue, yellow, green. People with pathology are not able to distinguish a green tint, merging with brown or yellow.
- Having deuteranopia - the colors are mixed in a different order: green with orange or pink, and red with light green or brown.
Such people are identified using special drawings with mixed colors. If you look closely, a healthy eye will see the contours of a pattern, letters or numbers. For a person with deuteranopia or protanopia, the image will be seen as a solid texture.
Interesting Facts
Confirm the differences in color perception through a survey and tests:
- When comparing reactions to the same shades, they get different answers. So, women describe with pleasure shades of grass, fruit colors and varieties
- After the test, various features of the vision of the sexes are also observed: they made a bright flash and immediately showed colors. Women showed the best result, naming a huge number of shades compared to men.
- For the stronger sex, small details in the distance are more important, the weak half of humanity pays attention to a change in shades.
One color remains equally interesting for everyone - blue. However, we should not forget that each person, due to the characteristics of the organism, the state of the nervous system, can perceive the environment in its own way. Emotional stress leads to the fact that the world begins to seem gray and gloomy. And during a good period in life and in dark shades, they find a bright glow.
