Latin colours

[rothbard]

I am posting this link I found on Facebook, in case it is useful to someone:

Chromotaxia seu Nomenclator colorum polyglottus additis speciminibus coloratis ad usum botanicorum et zoologorum

The picture below was inspired by Tables I-II in the book. I am not sure who created it originally. It was shared a few days ago by someone I follow on FB.

Don't be silly. Romans couldn't see blue.

The picture at the link in my original post seems to have disappeared, so I am attaching it below.
