This paper describes an experiment designed to test the hypothesis that women have larger colour vocabularies than men. The results indicate that they do. The results also indicate that, in at least one social class, younger men have larger colour vocabularies than do older men. No such difference exists for women. However, a group of Catholic nuns did score lower than the rest of the women but still higher than the men.
