We are here with a very interesting information. Did you know that there is no 'blue' in most of the ancient languages, that is, there is no word for blue?

The colour blue is never mentioned in ancient Greek texts. In fact, the sky and the sea, which were identified with blue, were described with green and darker tones. Some philologists even thought that the ancient Greeks did not see blue. A kind of colour blindness. In response, researcher Jules Davidoff conducted some experiments with the Himba tribe living in Nambia. This tribe was chosen for a reason, and that reason was that there was no word for the colour blue in their language.

In the experiments, the tribesmen were shown a circle of 11 green and one blue squares and asked which one was different from the others. After looking at these squares for a long time, the Himba tribe members could not tell the difference. However, it was observed that the same tribe could easily find the difference when they looked at the circle containing 12 green squares with a different shade of green.

The reason for this was as follows; it is known that the tribe uses dozens of different words for the shades of colour we define as green. Therefore, they can recognise at a glance shades that we cannot.

In short, it is observed that people's perception of colour is directly related to the language they use. Do you think there are still colours that we cannot perceive?
