I am such a narcissist that I pick shirts by whether I like them. My favorite can be scientifically determined as the one that wears out fastest.

The test was to scientifically figure out which one he likes the most

For the curious, search "color analysis" for a somewhat algorithmic approach to choosing clothing colors that has a cottage industry of practitioners.

Seems like a product idea. Users upload a photo of themselves. Their head gets pasted into dueling clothes. After a while they can hit "Add favorites to cart" and buy all their highest scoring clothes.

>My favorite was brown, and my wife ended up with blue. I have ordered 2 brown and 2 blue

you bring this before the internet, especially this corner of the internet? it's a math question, the answer is obviously 3 Blue 1 Brown
