    Colour differentiation in languages is a fascinating topic. Like, some languages have the same word for green and blue, while some, like Ukrainian, have different words for light and dark blue (similarly to pink and red in English). Also, orange as a color is a relatively new word - it was first used only as a fruit name!

        It’s interesting, in my language we seldom use it as ‘orange’, most of the time it’s orangeyellow.
