Color Notes

 

http://www.radiolab.org/2012/may/21/

This radio program has three segments (scroll down after the link to play them individually).  The first segment relates to “what is it like to see other colors,” the second segment includes “could colors be added to human vision?” and the third revolves around the well-documented fact that there are many societies that don’t / didn’t have words for blue (and other colors).
