This was very interesting, thanks. I've read somewhere that some cultures don't differentiate between blue and green, and actually have one word that covers shades of both.

I've heard that early languages also call red and orange fruits the same color or something but I couldn't find the source.

[–] Rokin@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think orange is a relatively new "color"

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 3 points 8 months ago

Yes, the color is named after the fruit, not the other way around!
