Reply to comment by slashjasper in [OC] 3 years worth of toddler's color picking by slashjasper

I wonder how much of that is perceptual. Is it easier for the tyke to see black, white, and red?

There's been some cool linguistic studies where words for dark and light emerge first in languages, then the next color is red.

Probably easier for the to “understand” the shapes. I remember reading somewhere that newborns take greater interest in what is painted on the walls of their rooms if it is black and white images. Probably has to do with high constrast
