It's weird that Japan wouldn't have a word for some of these colors, since Korea does, and their languages have been evolving similarly since Japan took over Korea. Not that weird. There are several other languages that didn't distinguish between blue and green either, or didn't until relatively recent times too. Pretty sure purple didn't exist in a lot of ancient tongues either. We can skip the more exotic colors in the Pantone catalogue and the weird shit they come up with for paints and textile dyes now, but plenty of colors we consider relatively basic and common really weren't a thing until modernish times. --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:950861442] in Blue Dogs ...
