For information on the perception of the frequency of light, see color.In the South African and Namibian context, the term Coloured refers to a rather heterogenous group of people of mixed Khoisan and white European descent with some degree of Black (Bantu), Malay or Malagasy ancestry (especially in the Western Cape) together with some racially pure Khoisans. During the apartheid era, in order to keep divisions and maintain a race-focused society, the term Coloureds was used as one of the four main racial groups identified by law: Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Indians. (The terms are capitalised in apartheid era law.) Coloured people constitute a majority of the population in Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces. Most Afrikaans-speakers are Coloured and most Coloureds speak Afrikaans.
