This is the best criticism I've seen to date on my PNAS paper:
The article does not note one semantic feature that surely influences Russian speakers' differentiation of shades of blues. The word "goluboy" is the most common way of designating a gay person in that language.
See my article on "Color Symbolism" in Encyclopedia of Homosexuality at Williamapercy.com

My Russian vocabulary has now expanded to two words: "no" and "fag." X3
