Colour Coded

Could Be The Cavey Crockett Factor

Find yourself drawn to the colour pink? Relax, it could be in our genes. A recent study has revealed that most women (and I quote) ``can't help loving pink''. Scientists at Newcastle University have found it's an evolutionary throwback to caveman days. Professor Anya Hurlbert, who led the study, said: "It might date back to hunter-gatherer days, when women were the primary gatherers. They would have benefited from an ability to home in on ripe, reddish fruits. Culture may exploit and compound this natural preference."

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? But then I looked closer at the data - and found that they only tested 220 people. But tell me, is there something in the study? Are men and women drawn towards pink?
