I think that the main point the article tries to make isn't specific to colors. It's about language influencing how our minds process "raw" information. And, to anyone who speaks more than one language well this is nothing new. Sometimes we don't have a "good" translation for a concept in one language, but because it's accessible to us in another language, we'd invent a way to adapt that concept using the lacking language. This is especially common when translating from a "bigger" language into a smaller one. For example, early modern Hebrew speakers loaned a lot of concepts from Russian (beside other languages), but because Russian and Hebrew are very different, they had to put some serious effort into adaptation. Ukrainian language underwent a process where a lot of terminology had to be invented or translated from other languages because for years it wasn't used in academia or industry. Computer-related jargon is full of instances where concepts were borrowed from English but had to be adapted to the loaning language. In Hebrew, it's a subject of many jokes, because early attempts at adaptation tried to rely on Hebrew roots instead of borrowing words / concepts phonetically, but now very few people know what was meant by that (eg. "tsag" -- the early version of translation of "monitor").
