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 {{C2|חורת|חְוַרְת}} '''cwarþ''' (cognate to English ''swarthy''). ''White'' is {{C2|והית|וְהִית}} '''whiyþ''', almost the same. Red – the first color to emerge – is {{C2|רהודּ|רְהֹוד}}. Next, languages have words for ''blue'' - {{C2|בּלו|בְּלֵו}} '''bleu''', ''yellow'' - {{C2|גל|גֵל}} '''jel'''; and ''green'' - {{C2|גּרוין|גְּרוין}}. Then comes ''brown ''- {{C2|בּרון|בְּרוּן}} '''brun'''. Finally, four colors tend to come late in a language: ''grey'' -- {{C2|גּרי|גְּרֵי}} '''grey'', ''orange'' {{C2|אורג|אֹורֵנְג}} ''''owrenj''', ''pink'' {{C2|רוז|רֹוז}} '''rowz''', and ''purple'' {{C2|פּורפור|פֹּורפֹור}} '''porfor'''. | |||
''Color'' in general is {{C2|צבעה|צֵבֵעֶה}} '''xevaŋěh'''. ''Crimson'' comes from the Bible - {{C2|ארגּמן|אֵרְגֵּמֵן}} ''''argaman''', {{C2|תּכלת|תְּכֵלֶת}} is violet, {{C2|שני|שֵנִי}} is scarlet. | |||
