> [...]psychophysics shows that your ability to discriminate colors does not depend on the words you use for them. I thought that some of the work on the Himba tribe's perception of colour was, tentatively, showing just that. Their lack of linguistic distinction between green and blue could explain that, in experiments, they took longer to differentiate between shades of blue and green than an English speaker would. It doesn't mean they don't see it though, just that it's a more complex task for them.
