This is an excellent resource. Thank you. Explains very clearly the pre-history of color systems.

Two other refs....

Kuehni, Rolf G., and Andreas Schwarz. Color ordered: a survey of color systems from antiquity to the present. Oxford University Press, 2008.

And Handprint.com

The guy that runs handprint probably knows more about color than any man alive.

Wow, Handprint.com is incredible.

I needed to spend some time clicking around to figure out what was where, but then just spent half an hour learning about which hue is actually the warmest (there is no universally accepted answer, but a common theme is scarlet).
