This is separate from the technical categorization of colors. Rather, how do you associate color families in your thoughts? Also, how good is your color vision, for comparison?
For me, I have excellent color vision;
- Reds, pinks, magentas, very red oranges
- Oranges, Yellows, Browns, very yellow greens
- Greens
- Most blues, purples, very blue greens
- Whites, off-whites, creams, light blues
- Black, grays, very dark blues, and other near-black colors that aren’t browns
I had my colour vision tested and I was able to pick out hues that would apparently look exactly the same to most people. To me they looked very distinct, but I was told that to most people, those hues would look exactly the same to one another.
I typically group colours by vibes and warmth and I don’t normally shade white with grey, but with a warm or cool colour!
