It is a very interesting read. That lead onto a podcast about colours: http://www.radiolab.org/story/211119-colors/ - also very interesting: Is the sky blue? Do all of us see the same thing? What do other animals see? and the concept that we only see colours once they have been named/can be consistently mass produced.
