The number of variety of olfactory receptors is totally different from
that of taste.
remna have at least 347 olfactory receptors to distinguish volatile
chemical materials. Other animals have more. It is too difficult to
use so many categories for expressing smell.

As for color expressions, I agree Escape Landsome.
In addition, remna has only 3 kind of cone cells, but some other
animals have also that for ultra-violet. A robot may have more. In
that case, our set of color words is too small.
