The Colours Of Languages

By Calloni Francesca

How do you name this colour? As you can expect, different languages have different words for colours. But not all languages have the same number of terms, for example, some have 12 colours, some others only 3. What are the differences between each culture? This is what this infopoetry wants to show.
