男人不色何来英雄本色女人不花何来貌美如花
[nán rén bù sè hé lái yīng xióng bĕn sè nǚ rén bù huā hé lái mào mĕi rú huā]
This somewhat unconventional phrase essentially suggests that without a bold and dashing demeanor men cannot fully express their heroic essence, while women need embellishment and grooming ('hua' - bloom, dress up beautifully, adorn) for true floral/beautiful looks.
