Basically, we’ve got 1-bit more sensitivity to green than to red, & 1-bit more sensitivity to red than to blue. I’ve read in linguistics stuff that tribes that have 2 words for color have 1 word which means bright & 1 word which means dark, tribes with 3 words have a word for blood-color, as well… green doesn’t seem to be as significant in the words-for-it department of tribal life, from what I’ve read. _ /\ _
