Looks more like a correlation between colour perception and genetics... rather than linguistics.
Genetics determines the number of colour perceived... then those colours are simply given names.

5 - 5.5: Looks like a match for Mick's Cro-Magnons.

6 colors: No apparent rational distribution that I perceive. Is this Europeans and their global, imperial progeny?

My wife works in interior design. She has a vocabulary for color that is thousands of words long (literally) -- in that she can identify the precise Benjamin Moore color code for any color she perceives and match it up against her color pallets to prove it (Benjamin Moore is a paint manufacturer).
I lack her vocabulary and I lack her perfect-pitch for color. Nevertheless, even I can see the difference between two shades or tones when displayed next to each other. My ability to perceive is not hampered by my lack of vocabulary.
Nothing academia does has much value at all. The whole enterprise is cancer-ridden with socialism. But the rot goes far deeper than that. Intellectuals have been manufacturing consensus since the dawn of literacy. They've destroyed far more truth than ever they uncovered.

Tok Pisin and Sranan are pidgins which take their colour names from English.
Tok Pisin gives up at green... Sranan has adopted the full spectrum.
New Guineans are (almost entirely) genetically archaic.
Guyanans have a very mixed ancestry (including European).
Guyanans have better colour perception than New Guineans... due to their genetic makeup.

Yes... with the addition of mongoloid Asians.
Are we seeing a correlation between colour perception and intelligence?

Don't forget there *tends* to be a relationship between beauty and intelligence. I'm rating those color-blind savages with the perfect breasts a 10 out of 10.

How would you tend to rate the *intelligence* of this one?

OK, enough already.
I normally look at pornography only after I've checked out the AE site. Now it's following me around!

Ummm.... She's not so emblematic of the same tendency.
Nevertheless, I've actually seen this tribe in another documentary. They really are far above average in terms of how beautiful they tend to be. Absolutely gorgeous children. The kind they put on soap packages.
If beauty does have a correlation with intelligence, I wouldn't be so quick to mark them down due to their reduced color perception.
