XKCD did something interesting on this a while back:

As it transpires, male and female [followers of XKCD, hardly a nonrandom sample of the population, granted] identify colors in essentially the same way.

Yes, but IIRC men generally use fewer, larger buckets for color names and group more shades into the same buckets.

Say Uncle had some interesting commentary on this topic a while back.
