Come now, how is that a "blue" horse? It's mostly PURPLE!!! No wonder kids don't know colors.

Why kids don't know colors
Recently we mentioned that to RJ everything is "yellow" though last Sunday he had a moment of clarity when he pointed to a painting and said "red flowers" (and they *were* red... and flowers). It turns out some of his friends have similar dilemmas, Jace thinks everything is "blue" and Daisy thinks everything is "green". I pondered why that was and think I have an idea on why that is -- Eric Carle.

I should have mentioned that the scanned image does look more blue than it does in the actual book where more of it looks purple than blue. The same horse is pictured later in the book as completely blue.
Chiefly indigo, I'd say.
