Like some people can see better and more gradients of colour
especially women it seems can better distinguish small differences in
shades of colours.

Considering the largely female readership of "Fifty Shades of Grey", I
find that rather surprising. You'd think a book called "A Thousand
Shades of Grey" would have been the more appealing title if that were
true.

True but it was a man that invented the black and white TV, he didn't
say well I'll call TVs mulitiple shades of grey.

He might have.

Unlikely he actually named it.


I always refer to it as 'monochrome'.

TV licensing call it a Black and white TV licence

And then printed it on green paper.
