TL;DR
A patient with persistent amnesia after bilateral medial temporal and left inferotemporo-occipital infarction could not match colors to objects in verbal, visual, or visuoverbal tasks, but the patient could name colors and point to colors whose name was given.
Abstract
A patient with persistent amnesia after bilateral medial temporal and left inferotemporo-occipital infarction could not match colors to objects in verbal, visual, or visuoverbal tasks. A severe naming disorder for objects was present but the patient could name colors and point to colors whose name was given. The matching disorder appeared to be a deficit in the semantic classification of objects rather than a problem in identifying colors.

It is concluded that the anterior hippocampus and hippocampal gyrus, either separately or together, are critically concerned in the retention of current experience.
Journal of NeurosciencePsychophysical evidence for separate channels for the perception of form, color, movement, and depth
1,761 Citations1987Margaret S. Livingstone, DH Hubel
Psychophysical experiments on the interactions of color, form, depth, and movement in human perception are described, and it is attempted to correlate these aspects of visual perception with the different subdivisions of the visual system.

Certain residual learning capacities of H.M., a young man who became amnesic in 1953 following a bilateral removal in the hippocampal zone, are delineated against the background of his continuing profound amnesia, an amnesia that persists in spite of above-average intelligence and superior performance on many perceptual tasks.
NeurologyThe anatomic basis of pure alexia
493 Citations1983António R. Damásio, Hanna Damásio
The behavioral and anatomic correlates of pure alexia were analyzed and right homonymous hemianopia failed to appear in three patients, who had right achromatopsia instead, and color anomia and unilateral optic ataxia were seen in six patients.

New knowledge of the colour areas and pathways in the primate brain allows us to give a more complete account of the pathophysiology of cerebral achromatopsia in man.

358 Citations1966Norman Geschwind, Massimo Fusillo
The case presented in this paper was another case of alexia without agraphia with some special features, and it is pointed out that this syndrome has turned out to be remarkably common, despite the fact that only a few years ago its very existence was questioned.

The neuropsychologic, neuroanatomic, and neurophysiologic correlates of achromatopsia were studied in two patients andbral evoked responses produced by pattern shift stimulation were normal for black and white but abnormal for red and green, when stimulation was given in the a chromatopsic field.

93 Citations1991Luc Pieter De Vreese
It was concluded that Case I, with left occipital lobe softening, had preserved imagery systems, but failed to recode the colours of mentally generated colour images, just as he failed to name visually presented colours, suggesting a language-imagery disconnection.

Results are interpreted as an impairment of aphasics in the ability to isolate analytically specific features of objects or concepts which might be conceived of as a prerequisite of propositional language.

26 Citations1982Nils R. Varney
The findings suggest that "colour amnesia" may be the result of a specific cognitive disturbance which is also responsible for a subtype of aphasic alexia.

This experiment employed reversible cold lesions to assess the possible storage functions of inferotemporal cortex (IT) for visual information and tried to replicate previous studies showing spared retention of visual discriminations with preoperative overtraining.
