Abstract
Saunders & van Brakel's claim that Berlin and Kay (1969) assumed a lan guage/vision correlation in the area of color categorization and disgu ised this assumption as a finding is shown to be false. The methodolog y of the World Color Survey, now nearing completion, is discussed and the possibility of an additional language/vision correlation in color categorization is suggested.
