Quarantine Cafe: Blue is a Social Construct Edition
Weird thing: "Blue" is always the last of the main colors to be named in a language. The order goes Black, then white, then red, then green, then yellow (sometimes green and yellow are flipped), and only later -- thousands and thousands of years later -- blue.
Many cultures do not recognize blue as a separate color. Some call it a type of green, many call it a... shade of black.This video about this phenomenon is interesting. As is this one. An interesting point is that it's only after people develop the word for "blue" -- or any other color -- that they begin to actually recognize it. Having the word for a thing trains the brain to see the thing.
The Japanese didn't call blue green. Instead, they called green blue, at least until they decided to invent a word for green. Wikipedia on the gradual division of a broad color that covered everything from blue to green into separate colors:
In many languages, the colors described in English as "blue" and "green" are colexified, i.e. expressed using a single cover term. To describe this English lexical gap, linguists use the portmanteau word grue, from green and blue,[citation needed] a term coined by the philosopher Nelson Goodman--with a rather different meaning--in his 1955 Fact, Fiction, and Forecast to illustrate his "new riddle of induction". The exact definition of "blue" and "green" may be complicated by the speakers not primarily distinguishing the hue, but using terms that describe other color components such as saturation and luminosity, or other properties of the object being described. For example, "blue" and "green" might be distinguished, but a single term might be used for both if the color is dark. Furthermore, green might be associated with yellow, and blue with either black or gray. According to Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's 1969 study Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution, distinct terms for brown, purple, pink, orange, and gray will not emerge in a language until the language has made a distinction between green and blue. In their account of the development of color terms the first terms to emerge are those for white/black (or light/dark), red and green/yellow.[1]Although Chinese now has words for green and blue, for thousands of years they only had the word "qing" to describe everything from green to blue to black.
The modern Chinese language has the blue–green distinction... however, another word that predates the modern vernacular, qīng..., is also used. The character depicts the budding of a young plant and it could be understood as "verdant", but the word is used to describe colors ranging from light and yellowish green through deep blue all the way to black, as in xuanging.This explains the counter-intuitiveness of the colors associated with the five Chinese elements. Red is fire. Okay, that checks out. White is metal. Okay, I can see the flash of the sun on polished steel. That works. But then... yellow is earth. I guess they haven't created brown yet. Wood is green, which is the color of leaves, if not actually wood. And then water is black. Because they don't have a word for blue, and blue can be thought of as "light black." I see they also associate "blue" with wood, which I take to mean the qing, which can be any color from green to blue, is being taken as the color of verdant plants. A bit more color strangeness: Women can see more colors -- or at least, they can more easily and quickly discriminate between fine shades of colors -- then men. Is it true that dogs don't see color, but only light and dark? Answer no, not quite, but their color vision is more limited than humans'. The forbidden color: yellowish-blue. What are these intensely blue pools? (Okay, there's also some green and yellow and white pools.) It's more interesting than you think, even if you figure out the basics. Why is blue so rare in nature? I mean, apart from the sky. And the oceans and rivers. And a lot of birds. Strangely, the color blue in bugs and birds is not due to a pigment, but to the arrangement of molecules which results in the surfaces absorbing colors except for blue. Maybe that's why it was so hard to make blue -- you can't extract it from butterfly wings, for example. The minute you heat or crush the wings, you destroy the structure that makes blue in the first place. Important question: Where are all the blue foods?

Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at February 19, 2021 07:24 PM (
No, the 1930s. It's based on a real life person, Gareth Jones, who worked for the Brit foreign services and was a commie symp but couldn't figure out how their agriculture numbers added up. He was laid off in a cost cutting manner but uses a letter of recommendation from Lloyd George to forgery his way into the Soviet Union and Ukraine where he witnesses everything turned to shit. Walter Duranty takes a nearly infinite amount of pipe in the portrayal, literally and figuratively.

I used to work in OLEDs, and know more about blue than I want too. blue is a bitch since (in simple terms) it is a higher energy transition and harder to achieve. Blue is always the last color to be created (pigments, LEDs, OLED, etc.) and always the most finicky. This pigment though looks very robust.

They saw a snake in the backyard. What color? Yellow.
Get a book of snakes out to try to identify. They point to a green one.
Other issues--red vs brown. They didn't know the word for brown, and had real trouble distinguishing between those colors.
The article I read about this illustrated a tribe somewhere that had no word for blue and couldn't separate blue from green. But they had over a dozen words for shades of green and the article had a test panel with mostly one shade and one a different shade. Apparently the tribe with all these different colors names could see the difference in a heartbeat, but after a long struggle I managed to guess the right one but it was really a guess.
It's interesting.

I remember learning about yellow and blue lights. Sunlight is apparently blue, as judged by the fact the sky is blue; yellow light is indoor lighting. If you want to shoot indoors but make it look to the camera as if you're outdoors, you use a blue light. There was also the whole related thing about color temperatures.
It makes a little more sense to me now, but still leaves me a bit cold/confused.

Way back in high school, our church youth group went to an amusement park. One of the guys with us was blind. He didn't wear dark glasses or use a cane, he just held on to someone's arm. Standing in line for one roller coaster he was holding my arm and shifted a bit past their safety line. The lady said, "you need to stand behind the red line". Several people who noticed his disability stared at the lady like she was nuts. I hadn't realized that the toe of his left foot was on the line, and apologized to him for the problem. He said, in a voice loud enough for the woman to hear..."There's a red line? Oh my god! I'm color blind!!!".
Awesome guy. Every time I met him somewhere for about 15 yrs, he recognized my voice and offered a hug and said, " you're looking good honey".

Extremely well-written and well-acted film starring Sean Bean as Ulrich, a devout Christian soldier who leads a band of men to find a village that is rumored to be engaging in witchcraft to avoid the Plague (this is set in 134
.
Among his band is the young monk Osmund, played by the excellent Eddie Redmayne, who has ulterior motives for making the trek, and who serves as the group's guide.
They find the village, which is indeed engaging in nefarious anti-Christian acts led by Langiva (played by the gorgeous Carice Van Houten, who also played Melisandre to award-winning effect in The Game of Everybody Dies Horribly and Rightly So - Also With Dragons series).
There is much anguish and suffering, and this is a very, very grim movie. But absolutely worth the watch for the performances and story.

She was supposed to be the 'moral one', aping the role Bones often played. Instead she came off like a political commissar. After a bit some tough captain came in and slapped her down and made her wear regulation uniform, and that irritant was gone, at least.

Blue light is interesting, because it's such a short wavelength. So, more of it reaches your eye in the same amount of time than any other color. That's why it appears so much brighter than any others. Also, why it can freak your eyes out and even appear blurry. I for one want to shoot every industrial designer who uses them in devices or ESPECIALLY in cars. One crappy little LED can light a room enough to read by. They're obnoxious as hell. There's a reason they use red or amber in aircraft. Long, soothing, no-fatigue wavelength. Want a night light or clock? Get red.

I have an acquaintance whose doctor finally diagnosed his epilepsy when he told the doctor that he would have spells during which, if someone was speaking to him, he was hearing their words as lines from favorite movies. As soon as he mentioned this, the doctor said "you have epilepsy". It was traced back to a head injury suffered in a near-fatal car accident when he was a toddler.

I though that was because it's more common for women to have the "fourth cone". Most people have three cones.
Of course I likely have four which is probably kind of gay. You can test yourself with a little applet that used to be online. It asks you to arrange four rows of colors that all slightly vary. I'm sure it was linked here years ago.

That's not even the original. You know the 3rd "B" is "Blue", since the six rainbow colors are in-order. But for the first two, which should be "black" and which should be "brown"? So the original mnemonic was "Black Boys..."
The PG-rated version was "Bad Beer Rots Our Young Guts But Vodka Goes Well". But even that's probably too much for school, now.
And for all three mnemonics, the tolerance band 5%-gold, 10%-silver, 20%-no band, was "... Get Some Now!"

Also, blue is one color that most men can discern easily, we tend to lose our sense of color as we get older. The last time I took the XRite test, I scored a zero, which is perfect. That was also 8 years ago. I have a friend who's an artist, with a fantastic sense of color. He's also totally color blind. And, maybe that's WHY he has that sense. He's working strictly with contrast. Typically, men are red/green color blind. Doesn't mean you can't see red or green, but when they're together, your brain shorts out (the common type anyway). I bet a lot of morons here tonight have that?

I though that was because it's more common for women to have the "fourth cone". Most people have three cones.
Posted by: ...
It's an X-chromosome thing, so women are more likely to be tetrachromats than men. And men are more likely to be "color-blind" dichromats (or worse) than women.
But even normal trichromat women are better at discerning colors; they have proportionally more cones, and fewer rods (phrasing!) than men.
More rods means men are better at detecting motion and fine details in exchange for worse color vision. That hunter/gatherer thing lives on.

Roman Channing Tatum is tasked with retrieving the lost standard of the legendary Ninth Legion, which disappeared in Scotland along with Tatum's father, who led the legion, and all its men.
Pretty good story and the fighting is Roman Epic.

That's the theory. Men get to have animal like vision for hunting, at the expense of color. Most men totally lose it by their 50's. Women on the other hand? My guess was they tended to pick fruits/vegetables. They could spot those red berries, men couldn't see jack shit. And you tried picking green beans, right? Women can discern the slightest variation in hue and value. That's why they like purdy shit.
Luckily, if you grow boobs and cut off your dick, your sense of color comes right back.

Dyes provided the motivation for molecular orbital theory. I've been told dye manufacturers were trying to figure out what made various dyes the various colors, a problem that prompted R.S. Mulliken to investigate, leading ultimately to the LCAO-MO (linear combination of atomic orbitals - molecular orbitals) treatment (in contrast to Pauling's valence bond treatment of bonding).

It's become a warning. Green can go either way but if something turns blue that usually is a reliable indication of inedibility.
Cooking shell fish crabs especially I was told that if they turn blue they are not to be eaten.
Blue on cheese is a sign of mold. And yes we have bleu Cheese but that's an acquired taste and cheese is rotting milk anyway.

That makes sense for I94. 494 and 694 go around Minneapolis/St Paul, 94 itself goes all the way through, and 394 stops in Minneapolis.
And explains why our other interstate, I35, splits into 35W through Minneapolis, and 35E through Saint Paul (and barely worth the name "highway", with 45mph speed limits). Neither the odd nor even rules fit.

I was just observant. On my first big road trip, why did the miles reset at the Sabine River from 880 to 0? Because we crossed from TX to LA. Or, why did the mile marker 1 appear in Lubbock for I-27, and why did the mile marker reset from 460 north of Raton on I-25 to 0 once you entered CO? The light bulb went on!

"Blue' and Green" get the same "key" word, "xanh". But there is a specific "qualifier" tacked on as appropriate.
"Green"' is "xanh la cay" (blue/green like trees). It is also "defined" as the "colour between blue and yellow".
"Blue" is "Xanh da trui" (blue/green like the sky).
Interesting point about the Chinese definition of "yellow" as that of "soil". They have a major river of that name, made so by erosion of vast swathes of "yellow" soil (Loess) that it carries to the coast to form the "Yellow Sea".

I always try to have some in bonds. I think they are safer than stocks (which can go to zero). If the company fails and the bond defaults you are ahead of the stock guys in line to receive funds from the sale of the assets. I think the average payment for defaults is 42%. With that said, be cautious and do your homework because I think there will be a lot of defaults when the powers that be are forced to tighten credit and/or raise interest rates.

For me it was ok, I liked Blue Cheese better, but nobody was going to tell Mom she had to choose. She loved that dressing.

Posted by: MikeN at February 20, 2021 11:19 AM (o/eHL)
Russians tend to be better than most people at differentiating between shades of blue, and it's believed to be because their language didn't just invent a word for blue early on; it invented two words for blue, one for darker shades and one for lighter shades. Basically, their language differentiated between green, blue, and indigo early on, and so today they actually have a finer sense of the color blue.
And then there's an African language... Swahili, I think?... that doesn't have a separate word for orange. It's considered a shade of red. Native speakers of that language have a harder time telling the difference between orange and red and pink as a result; it's all the same color to them. It's pretty fascinating how language can shape our perception like that!

Another reason, though, is that the character designs tend to be fairly simple, and having more hair colors available makes it easier to tell the difference between a bigger number of characters.
Posted by: Prothonotary Warbler at February 20, 2021 01:27 PM (H3MF8)
If a worldwide study were done on this subject, I think you'd find that native English speakers are really good at differentiating between shades of red and pink because of this. We even have specific names for shades of these colors, like scarlet and crimson, or rose and hot pink.
