I really apreciate your videos, keep it with the good work!!!

Funny thing - while “blue” is “niebieski” in Polish, the words used in other Slavic languages also describe shades of blue in Polish: “modry” is green-blue, “błękitny” (here written as blakytnyy) is sky-blue and “siny” (sini / sinister) is pale blue.

"Modry" should have been so much as red in old times!? Now it is violet in Silesia and deep blue/sky blue/greenish blue in the rest of Poland. "Siny", yes pale or greyish/ purpelish blue. A special case is "granatowy", it is dark blue/navy blue now, has no more any connection to granate apple interior colour, which is actually more like bordeaux. "Ultramaryna"- also dark blue, but one shade lighter and more sky-blue than "granatowy"?

salam, turkic bro!

I want to add that in german, there are multiple words that refer to purple. There of course is "purpur", as shown in the video, but that word is usually reserved for specific shades of reddish purple. Overall, the words "lila" or "violett" are more often used to refer to all purple colors in general, making it more akin to the scandinavian, finnish and baltic languages in that aspect, which could be represented with stripes on the map

As Estonian, we got several of those from/through Germanic, and newer ones from German. I'd know purple as "lilla", and later lilac as "sirel" (named after color of blossoms of plant Syringa). As far as I know, "kollane" and "kuldne" are related with oneanother, as well as with Germanic "yellow" and "golden". Somehow, in Estonian, I know beige as "ruuge"... ... and "ruske" (akin to Finish) as chestnut color

French noir and jaune have the same origin as nero and giallo. Laranja/naranja have the same origin as orange, but more distant.

Thank you for this generally very well put-together video. I say 'generally' since I did notice some inconsistencies in gender in the Slavonic languages. Perhaps you should have stuck to showing all colours in that family in neuter. Another possible useful adjunct to the video would have been a sort of 'colour mapping', relating cognates which have diverged over time such that they refer to different colours. I am thinking primarily of the relationship I suspect between the simplified Hungarian for 'gold', 'aranya' and the variants on the 'orange' theme, certainly the Dutch thereof, 'oranje', which is pronounced nearly identically to 'aranya'. Admittedly, we are looking at languages on either side of the Fenno-Ugrian and Indo-European divide, but you clearly showed that there are cognates that manage to leap over that barrier. I also suspect the same in the case of the Hungarian for 'green', 'zöld', which I would relate to the variants on both the 'zlaté' and 'žluté' theme in Slavonic languages and also to the Finnish 'kultainen' and 'keltainen'.

Dear, you really messed up the grammatical genders in Slavic languages, some words are feminine, some masculine, some neuter. You could have cared to put them in the same genus at least.

in Bulgarian Purple is mostly refered to as lilavo and then violetovo and probably least called purpurno. While Lilac is sometimes also called lilavo, but mostly called liulakovo.

Great. Why not colour Wales/Welsh in a different colour (and also include Breton)? For instance, red in Welsh 'coch' is cognate with Albanian kuq and Greek kokkus. Welsh for white and Breton are virtually the same, gwyn and gwenn, Welsh for black 'du' is cognat with Irish 'dubh' and it's du in Breton too. Welsh for green, 'gwyrdd' is cognate with the Latin words.

In Greek, the official name for red is Erythro like in erythrocytes (red blood cells)

Brown: Greek "kafe" and its equivalents have the same root as Turkish "kahverengi". Interestingly, Czech "hnědý" has an exact equivalent in Russian "gnědoj", but in Russian this word is used exclusively for horses.

In Spanish, for "golden" we have "gualdo" as well. Indeed, the flag of Spain is known as "la rojigualda" ("the red-golden one").

Strange colour marking for French, noir, jaune come from the same Latin word as negru or galben in Romanian, Lat. nigrum and galbinus, respectively . giallo in Italian is a loanword from French.

Those should - the same as with golden

Why is English "white" in a different color from German "weiss" and Norwegian "hvit"? They are clearly from the same root.

In Italian, "blu" means specifically dark blue. Light blue is "azzurro".

In case of purple hungarians use lila, bíbor is a color on its own. Similar but not the same.

groente means vegetable in dutch! the word for green is groen!

France doesn't use "pourpre" for this color, it's "violet", or if it's a bit lighter and blueish "mauve". Pourpre is more on the red side. Also they use "brun" or "marron" alternatively.

Purple in American English is not the same in Europe, where it means more a dark red colour.

En español o castellano tambien se le dice al 💜 morado , violeta o purpura .
