> English speakers are perfectly capable of seeing the difference between light blue and dark blue, we just happen to use the same basic word for both. The idea is that English speakers identify light and dark as a variation of the same thing. Are red and pink the same colour or different colours? What if you call "pink" something like "light red" instead? Are they now classified in your brain as two different things or the same one. Is dark blue and light blue two colours or one? Does "light blue" become a different colour in a person's brain if it's label as azure as in Italian (etc)? * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_(color) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_(color)
