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.


That's different, I specifically said that Japanese and Korean have been evolving similarly in the past couple hundred years. So it's really weird that Koreans decided to add all these exotic colors to their language while the Japanese didn't.
