PINK & LANGUAGE

The book “Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution,” by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay approaches the subject of a common evolutionary development of color categories in different languages.
they suggest that there are exactly eleven basic color categories from which all basic color terms in all languages arise. These eleven basic colors are black, white, red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, orange and grey.
As languages progress up the ladder of evolution, they gain more color words eventually reaching Stage VII, which has eight or more basic color words.
