To me goluboy is 6-11 on this scale and siniy is 16-20. And of course we have light and dark goluboy and light and dark siniy. You can't beat us)

if you ask to pick goluboy from all the colors Cian definitely wouldn't be the first choice. it would be baby blue.

In Italian there is "azurro" and "blu" and is more or less the same concept as in russian

So how about the Japanese? They used to have only one word for green AND blue. Only rather recently did they add more color names. 😏

So, to be clear, cyan is goluboi and blue is siniy. You're welcome 😁

We have words for at least 10 of those shades in English though (I’d say all), just not as commonly taught

Окей, я думаю, я действительно считаю циан голубым. Но и бледно-синий я считаю голубым! Так что это и насыщенность, и тон!

the main shock from my childhood - where is "goluboi" in English and why blue goes for all these colours 🤦🏻😂

cyan is often considered a "light blue", that's how I see it and indigo fells like a "dark blue"

It's an interesting intersection of language and perception. The more words we have for things the better we get at distinguishing?

cian is goludoy with little drop of yellow and indigo is siniy with little drop of red. Siniy is primary color while cian and indigo are secondary.

Same in Polish, we have błękitny for light blue, like baby blue, niebieski for a darker blue (10-16) and granatowy for navy blue

They just tell it’s cause of the darkness because that’s what is taught unless they actually study colours, plus it’s easiest way to translate

As an ESL Russian, I was always under the impression that "goluboi" was Russian for cyan. Also, "siniy" has stress on the first syllable.

I would describe them as being in the blue family but also name them different things.

I definitely see it as “siniy is dark” and “goliboi is light”. These two is also how I learned the rainbow as a child

Vietnamese is interesting when naming colors. They’ll name a general color but define what it is by things that look like it. For instance-
