If only English had words like azure, sapphire, smalt, aqua, turquoise, periwinkle, iris, cerulean, ultramarine, verdigris, waterspout, zaffre or cyan to distinguish such nuances of colour! Of course, the precise boundaries between the various areas of RGB that are given a label and commonly emphasised in speech will vary dramatically between cultures.
How often are most of those used? I recognize most, but I've probably used... five of them in the past year, and I thought verdigris was green. -_-
About half of them are used enough to be considered 'words' not 'scrabble words' according to my ad hoc classification scheme.
