1045.0. "Colors in language" by CALS::DESELMS (Opera r�lz) Tue May 11 1993 15:18

    I've heard that as a language becomes more evolved, not only does it develop
    more words for colors, but in each language the words are developed in the
    same order.

    For example, first come black and white, then red, then something else.

    Can someone elaborate?
