Why do you give this kind of importance to hue? Hue is not how people divide colour, unless you want to say that white, gray and black are the same colour. The difference between "sky blue" and "royal blue" is just as significant as the difference between orange and brown.
- crazygringo 2y agoBecause hue is scientifically defined and objective. That lets us sidestep all the linguistic stuff so we have something meaningfully perceptual to ground the conversation. And white, gray and black have no hue at all. They're not the same color -- they have no color at all. The hue is indeterminate. (Even if we call them "colors" colloquially.)
