I'm a Russian speaker, but I've never thought of goluboy and siniy as separate colors, unlike blue and green. To me, goluboy and siniy are like pink and red; just different shades of the same color.
- juliansark 5mo agoYou blew my mind with "pink and red being different shades of the same color". p.s. I am color vision handicapped or whatever that is called.
- thaumasiotes 5mo ago> You blew my mind with "pink and red being different shades of the same color". This is also how native English speakers (with color vision) view pink and red. Compare the classic dialogue from Red vs Blue ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCwYfSeqAw8#t=47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCwYfSeqAw8#t=47 ): Look at it! It's not pink! It's like a... a lightish red. Guess what. They already have a color for lightish red. You know what it's called? PINK.
