>>51678119>but you can call both of them color and be correct. Just because it can be more granular doesn't mean it's wrong to speak generally.but that's the problem, in this case it's more like trying to equate hue and color to defining the exact same thing, when hue is merely an aspect of color. there are people that do it, sure, but that doesn't make it a correct assumption in the same way that calling all hispanics mexican does not actually make all hispanic people mexican
you can replace a granular term with a general term and be correct, but you cannot replace a general term with a granular term and be correct unless said general term is explicitly referring to the granular term that is replacing it. I suppose in your case it was, but you probably should have clarified that from the onset instead of doubling down on it.
