<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
