All philosophy is is semantical games, so watching you flip your poo poo because someone asked you to define your terms is funny enough to justify this thread.

With regards to this specific example, it is just as likely, as first postulated by Gladstone, that Homer was in fact colour-blind - this is a view that has been taken up in some of the more modern scholarship of his work. Although it is true that blue in particular seems to be very malleable between cultures.

Radiolab had a very interesting (to me at least) segment on this very subject. But if you don't want to listen to it, there is in fact evidence that humans don't actually codify very many differences in color naturally, and that they may need to be taught to us in order to be recognized. And this became much easier to do once we were able to reliable reproduce said color as a pigment or something similar like wine.
