My skins is so pink, 89 would look blue, and many reds that aren't "true" pull orange. The pink toned 88 would hold it's own as purple tho!

Is that actually true? They both look like they'd just be 'lavender-ish' if they weren't side by side
You'd notice it on the "wrong" skin tone. The nails would look wrong in an odd way.
KingORedLions
I suspect it's the case where you'd notice the difference most; placed next to a contrasting or complimentary colour.
Ryvienna
89 has more blue and compliments cooler skin tones while making warm skin tones look sallow. Trust me, I'm a makeup artist

88 is lighter right?

I can see the difference but I think they are similar enough that it's irrelevant.
Thats because for your purposes they are. But if you're coordinating skin tone/makeup/outfits/jewelry/ect the difference is stark/important

I'd love to see an example where one version wouldn't work but the other version would.
Agreed it's not something you will notice one people would have to pay attention to your fingernails and be observant enough to realize (1)
It's a slightly different shade than the dress.
So,depending on what season your colouring is your skin can look sallow, sickly, pasty, or flushed in weird ways with different undertones+
+you may not consciously notice, but subconsciously key in. And small differences can be very noticible with clothes/makeup. You not caring+

Hadespuppy
It's super neat. Where we learn to differentiate things on a spectrum is both highly personal and dependant on culture and social environs.
For example, people speaking a foreign language almost always sound like they're talking fast, because we don't know where the spaces go.
To clarify, I mean the x people all seeing the same blue, or not, but regardless we can't tell what x person's blue looks like
Without, like telepathy. Or some equivalent. My yellow could be your blue, but the word being held in common could confuse the issue.
keillrandor
Not perception - 'interpretation' - it's why colours are properties and not things directly, and black/white etc. ARE colours.
(Though, obviously, differences in physiology does affect perception directly if present.)

They debunked that about how eskimos had multiple words for snow.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Even english has multiple words for snow. I'd be shocked if the Inuit didn't.
I'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate?
https://readable.com/blog/do-inuits-really-have-50-words-for-snow/
Ok, I guess I don't get the connection to this based on what we were talking about with color?
lisaacson9000
Learned about this is my linguistic class. Shows how you can discriminate colors based on different cultures. Most people only have one word
Snow but Inuit has many. Similar to in Russia there is no technically color that means blue. Questions if we discriminate colors
Differently.

Without, like telepathy. Or some equivalent. My yellow could be your blue, but the word being held in common could confuse the issue.

Not perception - 'interpretation' - it's why colours are properties and not things directly, and black/white etc. ARE colours.

(Though, obviously, differences in physiology does affect perception directly if present.)

They debunked that about how eskimos had multiple words for snow.

Even english has multiple words for snow. I'd be shocked if the Inuit didn't.

I'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate?

Ok, I guess I don't get the connection to this based on what we were talking about with color?

Learned about this is my linguistic class. Shows how you can discriminate colors based on different cultures. Most people only have one word

Snow but Inuit has many. Similar to in Russia there is no technically color that means blue. Questions if we discriminate colors
lisaacson9000
Differently.
