Interesting point. I learned Russian as an adult for work -- and my colleagues always told me that Russians see the difference between the two blues the same way that we as English speakers see the difference between "pink" and "red". Pink is technically light red, but there is immense cultural significance invested in making the distinction.

Modern Russian children will have easier time telling pink from red than light blue from blue since they share the common material culture with the rest of world, but otherwise you are spot on. Pink is another little color which appeared a short time ago and permanently extended our palette.
