Is there no cross-cultural evidence in colour categories of psychological laws, only of cultural rules?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 August 2019
Abstract
Two points are made on the basis of (mainly) the cross- cultural psychological record. The first is that cross-cultural data indicate at least weak, nontrivial constraints on colour classification. The second is that exceptions to cross-cultural regularities as described by Saunders & van Brakel are compatible with the view that constraints on colour categories are probabilistic rather than deterministic.
