“…Th us it is as if "the distances between levels of lightness were in furlongs, the distance between levels of saturation in stadia, and the distance around the hue perimeter in paces, and no table of equivalences was provided" ( Jameson & D' Andrade 1997, p. 297). All perceptually based color order systems have some form of this perceptual metric problem (e.g., see Indow 2003). Nevertheless, because perceptually based color order systems are based on human perceptions, it might seem okay to commit the "stimulus error" and assume that the metrics of the stimulus space equal the perceptual metric of the observer; or that the similarity metric (and observable stimulus qualities) present in such spaces are equivalent to similarity (and qualia) inside the heads of experimental subjects.…”

“…Unfortunately, the best tools available to psychologists are the three-dimensional stimulus-space models that do not appropriately capture subjective differences between stimuli (Indow 2003). Th is difficulty has long been known, of course: Perceptual color space mapping results show a non-linear relationship between perceptual color space and stimulus spaces, as well as local and global differences in the metrics obtained in different regions of the perceptual color space (Indow & Aoki 1983, Indow 1988.…”

In "Does the Basic Color Terms discussion suffer fr om the Stimulus Error?" Rolf Kuehni describes a research stumbling block known as the "stimulus error, " and hints at the difficulties it causes for mainstream color naming research (Kuehni, Th is Issue). Among the issues intrinsic to Kuehni's "stimulus error" description is the important question of what can generally be inferred from color naming behaviors based on bounded samples of empirical stimuli. Here we examine some specifics of the color naming research issues that Kuehni raises. While we share Kuehni's view regarding potential problems caused by the "stimulus error" and his concern regarding its prevalence, Kuehni's commentary seems primarily aimed at stimulating a general discussion of color naming research implications, because the articles he critiques do not actually commit the "stimulus error" in any serious sense. Based on Kuehni's comments, we further examine some of the relevant empirical and theoretical implications for cross-cultural color naming research.

This article applies the interpoint-distance model (IDM) to explain composite color categories that continue to challenge existing models in the literature. Using universal cognitive principles and heuristics suggested in the IDM, analyses demonstrate that the composite category blue-green (or GRUE) seen in many languages is one of several natural coding configurations expected in the development of a color lexicon for communicating about color sensations within a given ethnolinguistic society. Using the IDM, these enigmatic composite color categories can be explained and integrated into an updated view of the psychological processing responsible for similarities in cross-cultural color processing. The IDM also allows for revision of existing theories and increases our understanding of the cognition that underlies individuals' color naming, categorization, and concept formation.
