This is a video of PBS Otherwords host Erica Brozovsky, Ph.D (previously: sailor jargon) discussing the origins of our words for different colors. Did you know humans can see more shades of green than any other color, but have fewer words to describe them? That was news to me. Not news I’m going to be able to apply to anything but party banter, but my dermatologist was able to identify my rash so I’m sure friends will be thrilled I have something else to talk about.
