Color perception and color naming are universal yet culturally nuanced phenomena that provide insight into the intersection of language, cognition, and culture. This paper examines the linguistic categorization of color terms, focusing on English, while drawing comparisons with other languages such as Russian, Setswana, and several Asian languages. Particular attention is given to the psychological, cultural, and idiomatic meanings of colors, with a detailed semantic analysis of the term green. The findings emphasize the centrality of color terms in shaping worldview, emotional experience, and cultural identity.
