Men are red, women are green, researcher finds

Michael J. Tarr, a Brown University scientist, and graduate student Adrian Nestor have discovered this color difference in an analysis of dozens of faces. They determined that men tend to have more reddish skin and greenish skin is more common for women.
The finding has important implications in cognitive science research, such as the study of face perception. But the information also has a number of potential industry or consumer applications in areas such as facial recognition technology, advertising, and studies of how and why women apply makeup.

... red-orange, white, or yellow, but definitely not green.
Also, Aristotle said something about boys about having more "heat," but Venus is the much warmer planet.
Maybe it's all a lie.

I would wonder how much of this is due to environmental factors, that more men work outside, get more sun, women often go out with makeup on get less sun....

I knew it -- The Red Green show is queer propaganda! Damn those insidious Canadian public television liberals!
And Red Light / Green Light is a scheme to turn innocent kindergarten girls into lesbians.
