Some languages explain the entire color spectrum in two or three words--eschewing everything except maybe "light" or "dark"--while others might classify more than 60 relatively obscure colors. The World Color Survey is a global database of color names and interpretations, and Fradet mined this data for his infographic. The results are grouped by geographic area and show the most-used words nearest to the center, reaching out to the most obscure variations at the end.
