Which means that while all the others are identified immediately as purple, red, yellow, orange, and blue, those two get lumped together in our brain as "green" before they get id'd as more specific colors. Heck, there are some cultures who didn't even make a distinction between blue and green until other cultures introduced it to them, so that muddles the blue-green of VC even more since it shows that the distinction isn't necessarily an innate thing for the human brain.
So there's some science to chew over before dismissing them as "different enough" to not be worth changing.

I've literally been learning about this for the past couple of weeks in one of my courses in school. It's really neat. And scary. Stuff that we think is innate and automatic and visceral... actually isn't. We were taught to make it innate and automatic and visceral.
That being said, most of CS's users are probably in areas that do have distinctions for red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple/pink/brown/black/gray/white, exactly those, no more and no less, at the level of "colors that are not shades of each other" (I guess you could argue about pink, but that also depends on what shade of pink you see). With plenty of exceptions (search up something like "color blue in russian"), but if you're typing in English, you're probably at least familiar with the listed color distinctions at that level and you're probably familiar with how you can't name further colors that aren't "shades" of the listed colors.
At this point I'd take anything but I would also like something that's not teal, no matter how pleasing it is to my eyes rainbow-wise lol. Teal is a "shade" of blue or green, depending on which way it leans. (The current VC teal is definitely a shade of green. Too green. Pyromaniacal's teal, however, is a shade of blue to me. A green-blue. I like it because to me, it's significantly bluer than Common but definitely lighter than OMGSC. But I also have good eyes and good monitors. And then there's Raire's cyan. Definitely not teal lol but I think you might get teal if you darken it...)

Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.
Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
