Naming the Colors



I came across this fascinating short video on the colour experiment done with the Himba tribe of Namibia  thanks to the  Radiolab's recent Colors show on WNYC radio.  The video shows how this foreign tribe actually sees colors differently and shows how, pretty amazing!  Take a listen to the whole podcast linked above if you have a chance, it's well worth it!
