The Blue Green distinction in languages.

AHR

Dr. Berman dubbed this the Typical Mind Fallacy: the human tendency to believe that one's own mental structure can be generalized to apply to everyone else's.

I...I think I found my ultimate IJBM...

There's still a very important question to be answered here: why blue-green as opposed to any other pair of colors?

AHR

DonZabu: Who knows. I mean, if I had to pick a color to not exist, it would be gray. It just happened that way, I suppose.

Chagen

Because languages make no sense.

^Screw you, gray is awesome.

-also has a problem with a certain shade of green and grey-

AHR

I am not saying that because I have a particular vendetta against it, I'm just saying, all gray is, is a lighter shade of black. --shrugs--

all gray is, is a lighter shade of black

I guess at we might argue as to whether grey is light black or dark white, and hence one possible origin for separating grey as a commonly used color word.

AHR

Yeah, I don't really know how that works either. Maybe the only color is gray, and white and black are just subsets .

Unless people from different continents see colors differently....?
