>>13535063>I know japan has it to where it's acceptable to call green blue, but they still have two words for it.Ancient Japanese did not have two words for it, and even today the two terns Ao and Midori do not align with the English words Green and Blue.
Besides the point, though, because ancient Japanese is just one language amongst many that doesn't make the distinction. The Vietnamese word Zahn is both the color of the sky and the color of tree leaves. Amazonian tribes tend to have the same color word for the sky and leaves also. Bantu languages, too. IIRC Green/Blue distinction is actually quite rare in the history of all languages.
>And it's pretty obvious, so long so as you are not colorblind, when a color switches from one to the other.No it isn't. The color spectrum IS A SPECTRUM. There are NO clear boundaries in it. Those boundaries you see are because your culture tells you that they are there. The rainbow doesn't "really" have seven colors, that's just what the western tradition says. Do you know why it has seven colors? Because Newton- who INITIALLY said it had five- decided it would be nice to divide it into the same number of notes as there are on the musical scale. I'm not fucking joking, you can look it up.
Did you know that in China the rainbow is said to have only five colors? Are all chinese people color blind, do you think? Or do you think maybe you might be wrong?
>Also, no shit they don't call baby-blue baby-blue. But I doubt they consider it its own color, like red or violetWell maybe you should actually look into it instead of armchair guessing what a whole nation of people say and think. Yes, they do consider them two different colors, goluboy and siniy. Just fucking google it. There are even experiments performers
