Editing Color term (section)

[[File:Moscow-metro-light-blue-line.png|thumb|Use of light-blue ({{lang|ru|голубой}}, {{lang|ru-Latn|{{Itco|goluboi}} }}) and dark-blue ({{lang|ru|синий}}, {{lang|ru-Latn|{{Itco|sinii}} }}) colors for different lines of the [[Moscow Metro]]]]
Languages with further color distinction use relativistic light/dark terms like light blue{{Nbsp}}/ [[navy blue|dark blue]] (in comparison to blue sky{{Nbsp}}/ blue ocean), or [[pink|pale red]]{{Nbsp}}/ [[Maroon|deep red]].

[[Italian language|Italian]], [[Russian language|Russian]] and [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] have twelve basic color terms, each distinguishing blue and light blue. A Russian will make the same red/pink and orange/brown distinctions, but will also make a further distinction between {{lang|ru|синий}} ({{lang|ru-Latn|sinii}}) and {{lang|ru|голубой}} ({{lang|ru-Latn|goluboi}}), which English speakers would call dark and light blue. To Russian speakers, {{lang|ru-Latn|sinii}} and {{lang|ru-Latn|goluboi}} are as separate as red and pink, or orange and brown.<ref>{{cite news |title=Seeing the blues |magazine=Nature |series=News |date=2007-04-30 |url=http://www.nature.com/news/2007/070430/full/news070430-2.html}}</ref>

[[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] and [[Turkish language|Turkish]] [[Hungarian language#Two words for "red"|distinguish multiple words]] for 'red': {{lang|hu|piros}} and {{lang|hu|vörös}} (Hungarian; {{lang|hu|vörös}} is a darker red), and {{lang|tr|kırmızı}}, {{lang|tr|al}}, and {{lang|tr|kızıl}} (Turkish); {{lang|tr|kırmızı}} now includes all reds but originally referred to [[crimson]], to which it is cognate, while {{lang|tr|kızıl}} mainly refers to scarlet and other orange-tinted or brownish reds. Two words for 'red' are also found in Irish and [[Scottish Gaelic]]: ({{lang|ga|dearg}} for light, bright red and {{lang|ga|rua}} or {{lang|gd|ruadh}} respectively for dark, brownish red). Turkish also has two words for 'white' ({{lang|tr|beyaz}} and {{lang|tr|ak}}) and 'black' ({{lang|tr|siyah}} and {{lang|tr|kara}}). {{lang|tr|Ak}} and {{lang|tr|beyaz}} have the same meaning, while {{lang|tr|kara}} is a broader term than {{lang|tr|siyah}} and also includes dark browns; which word is used also depends on the kind of object being described. Both {{lang|tr|ak}} and {{lang|tr|kara}} are of Turkic origin, while {{lang|tr|siyah}} is borrowed from [[Persian language|Persian]], and {{lang|tr|beyaz}} from Arabic {{lang|ar|بياض}} {{lang|ar-Latn|bayāḍ}}.

In [[Serbo-Croatian]] there are differences in dark brown ({{lang|sh|mrk}}), brown ({{Lang|sh|smeđ}} and {{lang|sh|kestenjast}}), red ({{lang|sh|crven}}), pink ({{lang|sh|ružičast}}), and orange ({{lang|sh|narandžast}}), as well as in blue hues: navy blue ({{lang|sh|teget}}), dark blue ({{lang|sh|modar}}), blue ({{lang|sh|plav}}), and ash blue ({{lang|sh|{{Itco|sinj}} }}).

An interesting case that deviates from this pattern is [[Irish language|Irish]]'s two words for green:
* {{lang|ga|glas}} denotes the green color of plants
* {{lang|ga|uaine}} denotes artificial greens of dyes, paints etc.
This distinction is made even if two shades are identical. {{Lang|ga|Glas}} is also used for "natural" grays, such as the [[Eastern gray squirrel|gray squirrel]], {{lang|ga|iora glas}}.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/the-irish-for-colours-you-may-have-forgotten-lots-of-your-schooling-but-you-should-remember-the-word-bandearg-4447647-Jan2019/ |title=The Irish For: How many colours can you remember? |first=Darach |last=Ó Séaghdha |date=January 20, 2019 |work=[[TheJournal.ie]] }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gnQ9AAAAYAAJ&q=uaine+glas+distinction |title=Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Glasgow |via=[[Google Books]] }}</ref>
