When participants sort color samples into piles, Boster showed that their color groupings can
resemble the “stages” of Kay and McDaniel's model of color term evolution. Boster …

This volume represents a unique collection of chapters on the way in which color is
categorized and named in a number of languages. Although color research has been a topic …

The striking similarity in basic color naming systems observed worldwide is often attributed
to universal biases in the perceptual representation of color (Berlin & Kay, 1969) that guides …

We examined categorical effects in color appearance in two tasks, which in part differed in
the extent to which color naming was explicitly required for the response. In one, we …

Kay and McDaniel (1978) proposed that Berlin and Kay's (1969) linguistic color universals
were based on universal perceptual physiology. If this is so then speakers of languages with …

So far, color-naming studies have relied on a rather limited set of color stimuli. Most
importantly, stimuli have been largely limited to highly saturated colors. Because of this, little …

Saturation is an integral part of colour perception. Yet, this aspect of colour vision has been
widely neglected in research on colour naming and colour appearance. Fundamental …

This chapter surveys some of the recently more influential ways of answering the questions.
Another related question concerns the relationship between colour naming practices and …

Visual search for color is thought to be performed either using color-opponent processes, or
through the comparison of unique color categories. In the present study, we investigate …

Fifty years ago, in 1969, Berlin & Kay published Basic Color Terms—Their Universality and
Evolution and set in‐motion a large‐scale systematic research program for studying color …
