i thibk in life ppl overestimate how specific they truly need to be. jus be a lil more loose coz specifics cause wars and pain

there is no incorrect usage. language is not, never ever prescriptive

yea thats a whole other debate tbh

describing colors is kind of a funny metaphor for language in general huh

its not a whole other debate, you just dont want to be held accountable for your discriminations

i have a problem w/ people trying to convince me the incorrect usage is like factually accurate

its just that kinda seemed like what you were doing

factual accuracy

doesn't exist i could say that color is green and you wouldn't be able to prove me wrong

i aint gonna have someone say that my worldview is wrong/illegitimate and then be like 'uhhh yeah thats another story' when i call them out on it lmao

nah its just like would you say holland is just the english word for the netherlands now just cause everyone uses it that way

ffs i didnt call your worldview wrong i thought you were talkin definitiions but im long past thinking that

part if my worldview is that that colour is pik

nah its just like would you say holland is just the english word for the netherlands now just cause everyone uses it that way

ya sure

fair enough, cant rly go any further w/ this discussion

there is no true definition for color

me calling holland a different name doesn't actually objectively change anything abt it. that's my point. color is completely perceptive so is also completely subjective. obv you think about them a certain way (everyone does) but those definitions are rly only your own

colors are neat

dw im burning my dulux paint chart rn

why would you do that

if someone with tritanopia said that that colour was violet would u say

nothin really, we're having two like entirely seperate arguments here

what are the differences between our arguments

im talking about colours named for definition and reference purposes ie on colour charts etc, like international standards for use in print and digital media

youre talking about human perceptions of colours and the way we interpret and choose to refer to them

and i think we each [initially] thought the other was talking about the same thing and had some confusion on that

ie i tried to "correct" you cause i though you were talking objective shit too
