This could explain all the dark matter in space? Just a theory.

It's because they all lived in black and white, duh. The color tv wasn't invented until just a few decades ago.

That's cause back then the World was in black and white. Then Dorothy and her little dog too gave us colour. The End

Gladstone, you say?

Pashto still doesn't differentiate green and blue, they're both called "sheen" but that doesn't mean Pashtuns can't actually see blue...

Vikings called African people for blue-men

What you think people just go on the internet and lie?

That's not true. Read Michel Pastereou's book 'Blue'

"Black then white are all I see in my infancy. red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. lets me see."

#2 "Ancient Greek didn't have a word for blue" #3 "Why didn't the Ancient Greeks describe the sea as blue?"
Anthraxwastaken
Obviously at the time he didn't realize it was because they didn't have a word, it was written from his perspective, #2 wasn't
IamNotAnAlien
It's bizarre green came later than reds and yellows. Leaves are green ffs
cleavergrill
Is that why it look so long for them to add Blue to M&Ms?
Daveh0411

Asking the important questions.

Actually they had blue during ww2, but stopped because the pilots wouldn't eat them. Because there is no blue food, I think.

They needed to m&m combat guy to breed one.

yamez82
Hence the last point that only the ancient Egyptians had a word for blue

I actually learned about this in my comparative philosophy course. Very interesting stuff.

This is equivalent to saying because there is no word for something, that thing doesn't exist...
beakindperson
It was worded wrong. I suppose it means more, it wasn't visible ie himba tribes can't differentiate blue from green, yet they can see green
beakindperson
shades we can't see
