Color categories are not arbitrary
Article Abstract:
Studies in cross-language color naming and cross-language tests of color memory and learning have given better understanding of the aspects of cross-language color naming and nonverbal response to colors. It is shown that the performance of Berimino subjects in a variety of experimental tasks involving colors and color words failed to replicate the performance of Rosch's Dani subjects.

Explaining basic color categories
Article Abstract:
Some features of color categorization, which depend upon similarities and differences of perceived colors, that transcend the idiosyncrasies of particular language are examined. A survey is conducted on several lines of evidence that suggests a strong connection among the mechanisms of color vision, perceptually elementary hues, and naming basic colors.
