No. Babies don't know how to color bin. They learn the color binning of their language. There are a few languages with different color bins and people who grow up in those languages bin colors differently--having a hard time telling apart colors we obviously see as different (but which map to one bin in their mother tongue) but telling apart subtle stuff we see as one color but they see as more than one.




There are languages with more colors but the bins are the same.

Not exactly. It's more like the bins get added in a more-or-less predictable order as the language adds bins.
