It's fascinating to read about Berlin and Kay's study (1969) about biological constraints on why certain color terms are more common than others, or why some colors get grouped with others. See also [Lists of Colors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors_(alphabetical)), as well as pages on specific colors (i.e. [Shades of Purple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_purple), [Tyrian purple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_purple)) [Color Names](https://github.com/meodai/color-names?tab=readme-ov-file#explore-) is a popular project on GitHub that pulls from a variety of lists. See The Secret Lives of Color. ## Reference [Berlin and Kay. "World Color Survey" (accessed June 2024).](https://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/wcs/) These are two big names in the color naming world—looking biological constraints on why certain color terms are more common than others, or why some colors get grouped with others. See [Wikipedia > Color Term](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_term) for some explanation of their hypothesis. [Wikipedia.
