D3 - Languages and Color

That's pretty cool, we definitely had some pretty interesting name submissions in our color study as well.

Thanks. This is exactly what I wanted to see after reading the original post:

We should've been more clear on that - the English translation is the shortest string length submission we received for that color, while the color name (for English) is the longest (we figured the longest submission would be the most interesting). We only had two different submissions for English, for all other languages we put native language and the English translation.

There are some hidden gems in there one contributor named "Vacation At The Seaside Blue" while another called it "sky," as well as "Bright Endless Meadows Green," while another called that color "green."

You can also download the full dataset on our blog.

That languages we speak have an impact on how we group and categorise things?

Nice catch! We thought that was quite the color name.
