"Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among women:

   1. Dusty Teal
   2. Blush Pink
   3. Dusty Lavender
   4. Butter Yellow
   5. Dusky Rose"

"Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among men:

   1. Penis
   2. Gay
   3. WTF
   4. Dunno
   5. Baige

misspelling of “beige”. And keep in mind, this is based on the number of
unique people who answered the color, not the number of times they typed it.
This isn’t just the effect of a couple spammers. In fact, this is after the
spamfilter.
