[SOLVED] scientific experiment lakoffs theory

Homework Statement



i am attempting to deduce the relationship between the human brain and colours according to gender.
i aim to compile evidence of a large test case (which would likely rival lakoff's) to produce a detailed report to combat or confirm the theory.



Homework Equations



the experiment:

looking at the two colours below (answer separately), what names for them come to mind?

please answer with as many suggestions as you can think of (without looking at prior answers). :P

& include your gender



The Attempt at a Solution



this experiment will run till next thursday when i compile the results together and post my findings.

is lakoff's theory correct?

thankyou.

p.s. even if it seems silly as long as it relates to the colour eg a reaction or a product it is permissable.
