Even today, Russians distinguish light blue from dark blue as completely different colors (голубой vs синий). Culturally different color understanding is not rare at all. For me, personally, English-speakers are being weird when they distinguish pink and red as colors; they are obviously just lightness shades!
- nemomarx 2y agosee I think some shades of pink are more of a weird red purple? like fuchsia and magenta have a different tone. I believe what we call "bright pink" is kinda weird wavelength wise anyway though, I remember old YouTube essays about it.
- knome 2y agobrown is just dark orange, but is treated as separate culturally.
