This snippet has stuck with me every since being read some years ago. To say "very intriguing" is an understatement.
Q: (SV) It is what you are! (L) Our ability to see or perceive, blue,
according to some researchers, is very recent. Natives who live on
the Blue Nile describe it as
brown, Homer described the Mediterranean as the "Wine dark sea,"
and Aristotle said there were only three colors in the rainbow: red,
yellow and green. Is this true, that the human race, in general, has
only recently become able to see blue?
A: Yes.
