It seems obvious, but could have profound consequences on how you logically group things together. Most of us thinks verbally and if it has no distinct name you don't think of it as a distinct entity, so our perception would just box it with all other shades. You don't go around thinking this spot of grass is so Chartreuse green, and that over there is more Shamrock green - it's all one entity for you, "the green stuff". Now, of course, unless we talk about the color of skin, how you group colors probably doesn't create a huge practical differences for us now, but it has certainly influenced our perception of the world.
