Blue 2
Linguistic research indicates that languages do not begin by having a word for the
colour blue.[11] Colour names often developed individually in natural languages, typically
beginning with black and white (or dark and light), and then adding red, and only much
later – usually as the last main category of colour accepted in a language – adding the
colour blue, probably when blue pigments could be manufactured reliably in the culture
using that language.[11]
