摘要: In this target article the following hypotheses are discussed: (1) Colour is autonomous: a perceptuolinguistic and behavioural universal. (2) It completely described by three independent attributes: hue, brightness, saturation: (3) Phenomenologically psychophysically there four unique hues: red, green, blue, yellow; (4) The hues underpinned two opponent psychophysical and/or neuronal channels: red/green, blue/yellow. relevant literature reviewed. We conclude: (i) Psychophysics neurophysiology fail to set nontrivial constraints on colour categorization. (ii) Linguistic evidence provides no grounds for universality of basic categories. (iii) Neither blue/yellow nor saturation intrinsic universal concept colour. (iv) not autonomous.
