What I do know however is that our perception of colour is highly dependent open us naming it. If we don't name it we actually don't see it. Like the best example the colour brown. Do you think it is a different colour than let's say orange?
The same way blue and green are different or is it for you more like a light blue is different from a dark almost black-ish blue?
Truth is you get brown on the colour scale when you go to orange and reduce the brightness.
Brown is dark orange.

@shivers I read about this in a paper mentioned in some material we got in a introductory psychology course. And I noticed this effect way before that with myself when I did IT work for the marketing people. The marketing people were sure that two different shades of a colour were clearly and "obviously like night and day" different. Where as for me I couldn't even tell them apart. But then they told me their names and I had to research some issue they had in their software with them and well
