Oh cool! A fellow graphic designer :) of course you could make sense of my explanation! (To add to it, the munsell color system is , sort of, a good way to visualize all that)
Also, I agree with you: yellow is a bitch.
About the language thing, it makes total sense; to which degree it affects perception would be interesting to know! And now that you mention it, english has very good vocabulary to speak with nuance about color. In spanish different concepts commonly tend to get lumped together under the same name. Or the proper terminology is not widely used, or is used wrongly; at least in the art side of things on a begginer level. So I do think that also limits understanding of the properties of color in a way!

Are you a Spanish speaker? That’s an interesting insight.
