Me, looking at my room full of almost exclusively hypersaturated bright, bold colors whose favorite color is neon pink. Welp. Guess I'm a guy now.
Seriously though. There is a socialization issue here with the colors. It's not that men prefer dense colors, most men prefer muted colors. It's most men aren't taught the language of color, and it's been scientifically proven that not knowing the name of a color makes it harder to differentiate between them! So the very fact that a woman knows the difference between lavender and violet (a softer color and a denser color) when a man would only know both as purple? It changes his perception of the colors themselves.
