The Way You See Color Depends On What Language You Speak
-Aina Casaponsa, lecturer in Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, Lancaster University.
"The human eye can physically perceive millions of colors. But we donʻt all recognize these colors in the same way ... Different languages and cultural groups also carve up the color spectrum differently. Some language, like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone, only have two terms, dark and light.
Remarkably, most of the world's languages have five basic color terms ... As well as dark, light, and red, languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that denotes both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for "green" and "blue" but use one term to describe both colors ... "
