Linguistic color categories reflect non-linguistic perception, impacting language worldwide.
The article explores how language and perception are connected when it comes to colors. The researchers looked at whether the words we use for colors affect how we see them. They found that while people do categorize colors in specific ways, language doesn't actually change how we perceive colors. Instead, our language reflects how we naturally see colors. Additionally, differences in how our eyes perceive colors might explain why languages have different ways of categorizing colors.
