Most cultures don't have pink as a color either. It's just a light red. Colors become colors BECAUSE we name them.

The myth started because Homer called the sea “wine-dark” and didn’t use our exact word for blue. But human color vision hasn’t changed in tens of thousands of years.
Ancient Egyptians invented synthetic Egyptian blue pigment around 3100 BC and used it heavily in art and jewelry — they clearly saw and valued the color. Many ancient languages simply didn’t have a dedicated word for blue yet (it was often grouped with green).
Language affects how fast we name and notice color categories, not whether our eyes can see them. The “they couldn’t see blue” claim is false.

how hard is it to grasp that different colors mean different things to different cultures and that the names they have for colors are different from english and that the names use for different colors have changed. of course they didnt use the word blue.
english and its labels is not the be all and end all for definitive meaning.

Interesting fact, we don't actually know if any of us are seeing the same color. You could be potentially seeing red, but you are told that that is blue. Just think about for a second before going against me

Just because the word wasn’t used, doesn’t mean the sky wasn’t blue. Just because it didn’t have a name doesn’t mean it didn’t exist. This is ridiculous.

it's because blue didn't exist until the 90s when the band Eiffel 65 made it up to sell music records

They lacked a vocabulary to describe it because blue is remarkably rare as a natural pigment or material in ancient environments
