This is a chance to plug the excellent visualization of the xkcd color survey that helped quantify how much more detailed women’s color-space tends to be than men’s. There are many, many color names that only women use; the most masculine color name I found was “goblin green”.

“Pseudoberry” would make a good flavor name as well - or even a strain of cannabis.
