Abstract
Alexandre Surrallés [S] (2016) claims that the language isolate Candoshi of Amazonian Peru contains no names for colors, contrary to what has been reported for the World Color Survey [WCS] (Kay et al. , Kay et al. , among others, and by Tuggy 2008). S's arguments are not persuasive and there is evidence independent of the WCS that the Candoshi language does indeed contain color terms. Moreover, we will see that the Candoshi color terms, when viewed in a comparative and historical perspective, divide up the color space in a way that fits a widespread historical pattern.
