Re: It's the complexity we need
"I seem to recall seeing a programme on TV in the last... year or three... about somewhere foreign* (even more exotic that Scotland), where they also had names for colours that we* would consider mere shades. To their way of thinking, those colours were utterly distinct."
I have that same vague memory. Aussie Aboriginals, or maybe a tribe somewhere in Africa. Many words for different colours of blue but none for green, or something like that.
