The color of nouns

I'm not sure if I've got this right, but this page did image searches for tens of thousands of English nouns. Those that got fewer than 50 hits at Yahoo! Search they ignored. For the others, they color-averaged the images and came up with a color for each of 33,096 nouns. Then they arranged them by meaning (although you can also arrange them by color) and put them on an interactive chart.

Oh, what the hell, go there and start clicking randomly. [Tags: taxonomy EverythingIsMiscellaneous]
