Topic: Favorite color? Posted: May 14 2010 at 12:29 |
Favorite color? - just curious.
A little piece of scientific trivia. These colors are the ones that most languages have words (ie. basic color terms) for - and empirical studies show (Berlin, Kay:1969) that there exists a hierarchy. If a language has a word for blue it also has a word for the colors listed to the left in the figure - but not necessarily a word for the colors listed to the right. You can say, in a way, that red is thus a more basic or universal color than blue is, because there are more languages that have a word for red than there are for blue. Interesting..
What's your favorite color?
Mine are red and green.
