Y c\u00f3mo desde el principio los humanos hemos tratado de describir el color de lo que vemos.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How light rays bounce off everything and alter how we see things. And how from the beginning we humans have tried to describe the color of what we see.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Por ejemplo, Plat\u00f3n consideraba que exist\u00edan 4 colores b\u00e1sicos: el blanco, el negro, el <\/strong><strong>rojo y el brillante; algo que para nosotros ni siquiera es un color.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, Plato considered that there were 4 basic colors: white, black, red and bright; something that for us is not even a color.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Y algunos siglos antes Homero escribi\u00f3 sobre el mar diciendo que ten\u00eda un color vino oscuro.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And a few centuries earlier Homer wrote about the sea saying that it had a dark wine color.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>De hecho, la forma de los griegos de describir el color hizo que durante un tiempo se creyera que, literalmente, lo percib\u00edan distinto a nosotros.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Greeks&#8217; way of describing color meant that for a time it was believed that they literally perceived it differently than we do.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El mismo Nietsche lleg\u00f3 a afirmar que los antiguos griegos eran dalt\u00f3nicos.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nietsche himself went so far as to claim that the ancient Greeks were colorblind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pero no iba de eso. No era un tema de c\u00f3mo sus ojos y su cerebro percib\u00edan el color, <\/strong><strong>sino de c\u00f3mo lo describ\u00edan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not what it was about. It wasn&#8217;t a matter of how their eyes and brain perceived color, but how they described it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfY c\u00f3mo describimos el color en castellano? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And how do we describe color in Spanish?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quiz\u00e1s te parece que lo hacemos de una forma mucho m\u00e1s l\u00f3gica y comprensible, pero tambi\u00e9n tenemos nuestras cosas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maybe it seems to you that we do it in a much more logical and understandable way, but we also have our own things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Por ejemplo: \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 este color y su variante m\u00e1s clara siguen siendo el mismo color: verde oscuro y verde claro&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example: why is this color and its lighter variant still the same color: dark green and light green&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pero a este lo llamamos rojo y a su variante clara le damos otro nombre distinto, rosa?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But we call this one red and give its light variant a different name, pink?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfY por qu\u00e9 les pusimos esos nombres a los colores? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And why did we give the colors those names?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Probablemente te sea complicado imaginar por qu\u00e9 el blanco se llama blanco, el verde verde o el naranja, naranja. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is probably hard for you to imagine why white is called white, green is green or orange is orange.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ok, el del naranja es un poco m\u00e1s obvio. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ok, the orange one is a bit more obvious.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pero vamos a repasar algunos de estos nombres.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s review some of these names.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Por ejemplo: rojo. Antes del siglo XV en Espa\u00f1a nadie dec\u00eda \u201crojo\u201d para hablar de esto.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example: red. Before the 15th century in Spain nobody said &#8220;red&#8221; to talk about this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lo llamaban bermejo, aunque tambi\u00e9n se usaba \u201ccolorado\u201d y \u201cencarnado\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was called &#8220;bermejo&#8221;, although &#8220;colorado&#8221; and &#8220;encarnado&#8221; were also used.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El t\u00e9rmino rojo procede del adjetivo latino \u201crussus\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The term red comes from the Latin adjective &#8220;russus&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pero cuidado, porque \u2018russus\u2019<\/strong><strong>era un matiz espec\u00edfico del color rojo: como un rojo fuerte.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But beware, because &#8216;russus&#8217; was a specific shade of red: like a dark red.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El naranja es f\u00e1cil. S\u00ed, se llama as\u00ed por la fruta.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Orange is easy. Yes, it is named after the fruit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fueron los \u00e1rabes quienes introdujeron la naranja en Europa. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was the Arabs who introduced the orange in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>La llamaban algo as\u00ed como naran\u01e7a, un nombre que adoptaron del persa n\u0101rang. As\u00ed que una cosa llev\u00f3 a la otra.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They called it something like naran\u01e7a, a name they adopted from the Persian n\u0101rang. So one thing led to another.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Y lo mismo pas\u00f3 con el amarillo. Que atenci\u00f3n, recibe su nombre del animal, el armadillo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And the same happened with the yellow one. And attention, it gets its name from the animal, the armadillo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a1\u00bfNo hombre, qu\u00e9 dices?! Qu\u00e9 va. Ah, \u00bfno? A m\u00ed me sonaba bien.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No man, what are you saying?! No way. Ah, no? It sounded good to me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pues el amarillo viene del lat\u00edn \u201camar\u0115llus\u201d, que a su vez deriva de otro t\u00e9rmino latino,<\/strong><strong>\u00a0\u201camarus\u201d, que significa amargo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For yellow comes from the Latin &#8220;amar\u0115llus&#8221;, which in turn derives from another Latin term, &#8220;amarus&#8221;, meaning bitter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>S\u00ed, ahora s\u00ed. Ojo, que esta historia tiene miga. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, now it is. Pay attention, this story has a lot of substance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Se dice que es por la bilis, llamada en aquel entonces humor amargo. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is said to be because of the bile, then called bitter humor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El mal funcionamiento en la secreci\u00f3n de la bilis provoca ictericia, que puesto sencillo, es cuando la piel se te pone amarilla. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The malfunction in the secretion of bile causes jaundice, which to put it simple, is when your skin turns yellow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Y as\u00ed la palabra latina para \u201camargo\u201d termin\u00f3 significando amarillo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And so the Latin word for &#8220;bitter&#8221; ended up meaning yellow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Obviamente, hay otros colores que reciben su nombre del lat\u00edn. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, there are other colors that receive their name from Latin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Al fin y al cabo el espa\u00f1ol es una lengua romance. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After all, Spanish is a Romance language.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Por ejemplo, el verde viene de \u201cvir\u012ddis\u201d, que en lat\u00edn serv\u00eda para referirse al color verde pero que tambi\u00e9n significaba vigoroso, vivo, joven.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, green comes from &#8220;vir\u012ddis&#8221;, which in Latin served to refer to the color green but also meant vigorous, lively, young.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El negro tambi\u00e9n viene del lat\u00edn, pero con una particularidad. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Black also comes from Latin, but with a twist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nosotros llamamos igual al negro mate que al negro brillante, pero los romanos distingu\u00edan. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We call matte black the same as glossy black, but the Romans made a distinction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El negro mate era \u201cater\u201d y el brillante \u201cniger\u201d. El castellano se qued\u00f3 con niger, que deriv\u00f3 <\/strong><strong>en la palabra &#8220;negro&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The matte black was &#8220;ater&#8221; and the shiny black was &#8220;niger&#8221;. The Spanish remained with niger, which derived in the word &#8220;negro&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>De hecho, en nuestro idioma hay muchas palabras que derivan del niger de los romanos. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, in our language there are many words that derive from the Roman niger.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Como denigrar, que alude a manchar, a ennegrecer la reputaci\u00f3n de alguien.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As denigrar, which alludes to stain, to blacken the reputation of someone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Otro d\u00eda podemos hablar de por qu\u00e9 el negro se ha usado durante tanto tiempo con connotaciones negativas. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another day we can talk about why black has been used for so long with negative connotations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>De hecho, si hacemos ese video, suscr\u00edbete para no perd\u00e9rtelo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By the way, if we make that video, subscribe so you don&#8217;t miss it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El blanco es distinto. No proviene del lat\u00edn sino del alem\u00e1n \u201cblank\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>White is different. It does not come from Latin but from the German &#8220;blank&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>El castellano lo tom\u00f3 en la Edad Media, en la \u00e9poca de las invasiones germ\u00e1nicas en la pen\u00ednsula Ib\u00e9rica.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Castilian was adopted in the Middle Ages, at the time of the Germanic invasions of the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>De hecho hay constancia del uso de blanco como adjetivo desde el siglo XII.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, there is evidence of the use of white as an adjective since the 12th century.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Es un caso parecido al del rojo: antes se llamaba de otra manera. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is a case similar to that of red: it used to be called differently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>En el caso del blanco, la palabra era albo. Esta vez s\u00ed, derivada del lat\u00edn &#8220;albus&#8221;. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the case of white, the word was albo. This time yes, derived from the Latin &#8220;albus&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hoy en d\u00eda a\u00fan encontramos el uso de &#8220;alba&#8221; como adjetivo para decir blanca. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today we still find the use of &#8220;alba&#8221; as an adjective for white.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Como cuando hablamos del &#8220;alba&#8221;, la primera luz del d\u00eda cuando sale el sol.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As when we speak of &#8220;alba&#8221; (dawn), the first light of day when the sun rises.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Y por \u00faltimo veamos el azul. Igual que el naranja, el azul se introdujo en el castellano <\/strong><strong>a trav\u00e9s de los \u00e1rabes, que a su vez tomaron el vocablo del persa. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And finally, let&#8217;s look at blue. Like orange, blue was introduced into Spanish by the Arabs, who in turn took the word from Persian.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Los \u00e1rabes usaban \u201clazaw\u00e1rd\u201d, algo muy parecido a la palabra que con la que se refer\u00edan al lapisl\u00e1zuli. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Arabs used &#8220;lazaw\u00e1rd&#8221;, something very similar to the word used to refer to lapis lazuli.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Esa piedra de color azul intenso tan apreciada desde la antig\u00fcedad.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This intense blue stone has been so appreciated since ancient times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lo cierto es que no es nada f\u00e1cil ponerles nombre a los colores.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The truth is that it is not easy to name the colors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Por ejemplo, este es uno de mis colores favoritos \u00faltimamente.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, this is one of my favorite colors lately.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfC\u00f3mo lo llamar\u00edas?
