In English we talk about "light blue", but an Italian may talk about azzurro (galazio (γαλάζιο) in Greek; kachol (כחול) in Hebrew). Is azzurro its own colour different from "blue" for everyone, or only for Italians? Is "pink" a different colour than (light) red? Before the different word of "turquoise" was created, did the colour still exist and/or be perceived? * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turquoise#Names If a language/culture does not have a word for "blue" does that mean the colour does not exist? * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Color_Terms * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue–green_distinction_in_lang...
