What colors are your traffic lights? What color is the sea? In Japanese, the go light is blue, not green! Actually it is exactly the same color as in the US, but Japanese calls it ao, blue. Homer called the sea dark red wine colored. We can assume the Japanese and Greeks are not color blind. What is happening is that, mapping a continuous spectrum to discrete words, different cultures will map words to different segments on the spectrum. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_of_blue_and_green_in_various_languages
