Klingons are anthropomorphic and the Star Trek universe seems to be 
populated with species who apparently perceive the world much the same 
way humans do, so why wouldn't they have color?

Klingon color words are an interesting linguistic in-joke which Marc 
Okrand played, in that they do not obey the generally-accepted 
"universals" for human languages in terms of color division and development.

However, this topic is no longer on-topic for the Unicode list, so I 
won't go further.  This discussion should not be held here.
