The lecturer mentioned in class this week that Women were able to see a wider variety of colour than men.

This reminded me of a workshop I attended organised by Screen Skills Ireland a few years back which spoke about the difference between the colour space of Standard Definition and High Definition TV.

The facilitator started his initial lecture by talking about the anatomy of the human eye and how we perceive colour through a collection of cones and rods within the retina.  As it turns out Women generally have more cones which means expanded sensitivity within the red area of the colour spectrum.
