The responses to diffusely-reflecting bodies occupy a sub-volume of cone response space – the Body Colour Solid (BCS) [1,2]. In contrast to the continuous gradation of colour within the BCS stand the eleven Basic Colours (black, grey, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink & brown) which, it is claimed, are concepts universal to developed societies. To bridge the gap between the continuity of the BCS and the discreteness of the Basic Colours, we hypothesize that the Basic Colour foci are located at landmarks of the BCS.
