Indigo is common in daily life. A pretty substantial portion of the population wears "blue" jeans. Also in a world without street lighting, we would see it more in the sky at pre dawn and post dusk.
Violet is the real oddity in the modern age because it is outside the gamut of most (all?) of our displays, so we only see it in RL
- gumby 10y agoThe color known as indigo is common, sure, but it is not distinguished by English speakers. As you note they're called "blue" jeans. Another way color perception changes culturally: the gamut of reds (in particular) has changed due to the advent of industrial dies, changing people's description of what is "typically" red.
