Abstract
A monolexemic color-naming experiment in theItalian language was performed on a sample of 1,014 colorsobtained extending the OSA-UCS color system (E-OSA).Colors were rendered on a Mitsubishi Diamond pro 2070monitor as patches subtending 10° of visual angle in acompletely dark room. The 11 universal categories proposedby Berlin and Kay (Basic color terms: Theiruniversality and evolution, 1969) were considered. Consensus,consistency and focal colors were determined foreach category. Comparisons were performed among theresults obtained using Boynton & Olson (B&O), theextended OSA (E-OSA), a subset of it covering almost allthe B&O sample (R-OSA) and the Sturges & Whitfield(S&W) sample sets. A good overlap could be observedamong the locations of the consensus colors in the {L, j, g}color model between B&O and R-OSA, as well as a closeproximity among the centroids of homologue regions forthe majority of the classes. The analysis of the location offocal colors versus the centroids suggests that an additionalbasic term could be missing for the Italian language in theblue category.
