@@Mandrake_root No, of course not, because that shade of red does not occur naturally as a hair colour in humans, but humans CAN have naturally copper hair (which is a red/brown mix) which looks more red than orange. there have been people in history with red hair, not necessarily fire engine red, but still red. the reason why I mentioned the hair being wet or sunlight hitting a certain way is because that reveals the true state of the hair.

And it's not surprising that people that don't and encounter foreign people that speak half decent their language also know this. And yes, I can attest it's really annoying to not have, or have, a certain concept or word for certain thing if your native language does. At least until you are truly fluent in that foreign language. I have another really fun one, I'm Dutch but my native language is Dutch Low Saxon (Dutch variant of Low Saxon) instead of regular Dutch. Which practically means that my native language is largely compatible with Dutch, as long as I purposefully fuck-up pronunciation to sound Dutch, but some words have completely different meanings and some concepts don't exist in Dutch. So I've had, when I was a student, housemates yell at me that the floor can't peck and ask if I was on drugs ("pikken" means sticky in Dutch Low Saxon, in Regular Dutch it means pecking). But Dutch also doesn't have a specific words for some concepts like for example melting snow but in Low Saxon it's "Sjoekse". Or the missing of certain linking word, like than and then being one word. (which isn't an issue in talk or informal written text, but is awful in Dutch classes and formal letters). And the near complete missing of the letter H in speech, which means a lot of words are mispronounced. And of course some words are completely different, like southern Dutch friend of mine that worked in a clothing store not understanding someone asking for "boksen", meaning pants in Low-Saxon but he thought they where looking for speakers for some reason.

Brown is the next color that is distinguished with purple, pink, orange and grey being the next tier to develop. After that cyan is distinguished from blue.

All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (...) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (...) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood. Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favorable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favorable to its own side. (...) The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. (...) Every change that is made in the subject of a propagandist message must always emphasize the same conclusion. The leading slogan must, of course, be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end one must always return to the assertion of the same formula." Now see how that applies to both sides of those arguments.

When I was studying linguistics at uni, we learned about an indigenous culture that the word for white was the same for pink. When asked to seperate shades, they did, but by word, they were grouped togerher.

Interestingly, I learned from another video, and maybe articles (it was a while ago), that depending on what words you have for colors in your culture, you'll actually physically perceive the colors differently. If there's a separate word for a color, your brain learns to pick out its differences more, and see it as unique, rather than just a shade of another color. A good example of this is pink. It's basically just a light red, but we tend to think of it as a completely different color from red, because we have a different word attached to it. Basically, the more distinct words for colors your culture has, the more your brain is trained to see the differences between them, and see fewer similarities.

Of course, I imagine that this kind of thing can still be further trained, and that it's not a universal experience. For instance, if in your life you deal a lot with a particular color range, and have to distinguish between them, you'll probably notice the differences much better than the average person. Or if you're an artist working with color a lot, the same would probably eventually apply.

A person with red/green colorblindness (dichromatic vision), sees colors as either blue or non-blue, and all three colors would otherwise appear as the non-blue color to them. But when you make it blue-green, the green light appears as white, being a mixture of both blue and non-blue. So the lights to a color-blind person would appear as yellow, yellow, and white, instead of yellow, yellow, and yellow.

This is for completly different reasons. Blaukraut/Rotkohl/Blaukohl/Rotkraut gets its name from the color is has after cooking in the regionally traditional manner. Depending on the pH this cabbage can be red, pink, purple, blue, green, yellow. When cooked with acids (like lemon) it will end up red while if cooked in neutral ph itll be blue. So theres no red-blue problem in german. But what we do have is that cabbages raw color which is a purple color isnt named purple cabbage (purpur/lila/violettkraut for example) because purple wasnt a color in german, but instead a blue or red.

This makes it all the more interesting that it was the Japanese who ended up winning the global race to design the blue LED (red and green had existed for decades by that point - blue didn't happen until the 1990s.) Granted, the guy who invented it did work in the U.S. for a while early in his career and ended up moving back to the U.S. later in his career after a falling-out with the Japanese company he was working for when he invented it. The lack of a blue LED meant that we couldn't make arbitrary colors of light with LEDs until the 90s.

So this is why rock lee is called the blue beast of the hidden leaf even though he only wears green

Uhhh, aoi is read as "ah-oh-ee". Remember, every vowel in Japanese language is to be read out independently, and each syllable doesn't affect one another at all. So when you see a bunch of vowels sticking together in romanized Japanese, yes, go ahead and read all of them. They are three words in that language. And, the confusion of blue and green actually came from Chinese... Fun fact: Green light (as in, traffic light) in Japan is actually blue. Not just being referred to as blue, but actually, optically, blue. Fun fact #2: Japanese do have the modern Chinese word for blue (藍) imported as Kanji, and is also read as ao, but they rarely use it to describe the color blue. Fun fact #3: Japanese blue/green(青) means cyan in modern Chinese.

This is really interesting, I saw a video some time ago about how throughout the development of civilization, new words where added to the lenguaje to differentiate colours, originally most idioms just had 4 black, white, red and blue (not sure though) and by adding this new words people also started recognising the difference between those colours easier.

i'd imagine the black/white distinction to have come from the very prevalent light/dark pair, blood is red, blood means death (either good as in meat = food or bad as in oh god im dying), and so having a word to talk about it would be useful. And then nature is green, the sky and water is blue Other than the red of blood, grue of the world, white of sky in day and black of sky in night there's not really any strong natural pigmentation in the world, so further colors would develop later

A short interjection on Japanese pronunciations. The japanese language is phoenetically constant. Meaning that the correlation between sounds and how they are written never changes. Ao is always pronounced like ah-oh . Aoi is always pronounced like ah-oh-ee. And midori is always pronounced like me-doh-ree. There is no ih sound in japanese and the ayy sound would be written with an e and an i. Aside from that good video though.

And of course as in many languages you can go past main names and be more precise in describing shadings of blue - for example "turkusowy" means turquoise. I would be interested in Russian 3 main names for blue - if you feel like sharing, you can write them in either alphabet (I read Cyrillic slowly, but it better translates into Polish sounds, given how our languages are from the same Family).
