While color perception has a biological basis, cultural and linguistic influences play a significant role in shaping how we perceive and categorize colors. Different languages may have varying numbers of color terms, and cultural experiences can affect how we interpret and describe colors, exemplified by the unique case of the Himba tribe.
Some African tribes, such as the Himba tribe in Namibia, have been found to have a significantly different perception of color compared to Western cultures. The Himba language only has five basic color terms, which are different from the typical spectrum of color terms in English. The Himba language has more terms describing different shades of green, where blue and green are grouped together under the same term. This "limited" color vocabulary affects how the Himba perceive and categorize colors making it harder for the Himbas to differentiate between the colors that we perceive completely different from one another.
