According to the chart above, for Himba people, red is composed of different hues than what we call red. There are two scientific camp of thoughts here: the first , called "cultural relativitist" said that culture shapes man's perception and hence his classification of color. The second, called "universalist" said that color is so basic it's hard coded in the brain. Which one is correct? Who knows, there is evidence for both.
