Color

According to Rosenfelder, Berlin and Kay say that color words emerge in a certain priority scheme, roughly related to the anatomy of human vision. Black is חְוַרְת cwarþ (cognate to English swarthy). White is וְהִית whiyþ, almost the same. Red – the first color to emerge – is רְהֹוד. Next, languages have words for blue - בְּלֵו bleu, yellow - גֵל jel; and green - גְּרוין. Then comes brown- בְּרוּן brun. Finally, four colors tend to come late in a language: grey -- גְּרֵי grey, orange אֹורֵנְג owrenj, pink רֹוז rowz, and purple פֹּורפֹור porfor.

Color in general is צֵבַעֶה xevaŋěh. Crimson is found in the Bible - אֵרְגֵּמֵן 'argaman, תְּכֵלֶת is violet, שֵנִי is scarlet.
