Question about Greek basic color terms (BCTs)...

[epirot]

Actually, blavo is Latin, and belo , where the hell is this used? In skopje?

So all Sarakatsans / Vlahs (80% of modern Greece) belong to Skoplje. Another suicidal blunder by the usual idiots of the balkans.
Besides : Blavo = Plavo (SLAVC) = Deep blue. Now go cry a river.

For 80% of Greece () is certainly an unheard word, since noone except a real skopjan , knows it .

How does Modern Greek differ from earlier Koine Greek? How did this occur?

Time is enough.
Why don't you ask a linguist? Reading Wikipedia will be better than the answers you will get here.
Or make a question in Quora,

Sarakatsans are 100% greeks, more than any other but they are not 80%
Sarakatsans and Vlachs in Greece are about 5-6%

How does Modern Greek differ from earlier Koine Greek? How did this occur?

Modern Greek dialect Dimotika is comparable to Modern English. Any Greek can understand it.

Byzantine Greek is comparable to Dickensian English. Any Greek can understand it.

Koine is comparable to Shakespearean English. Any Greek can understand it.

Classical Attic is easier to read for a Greek than Chaucer is from an English speaker. Any Greek can understand it and wouldn't think it was any different to modern Greek once they get used to reading it.

Homeric Greek is slightly more difficult to read for a Greek than Chaucer is to an English speaker.

Mycenaean Greek would be easily understood to anyone that can read Homeric Greek.

Proto-Greek (which is a purely theoretical language) is substantially more intelligible to a modern Greek speaker than Beowulf is for someone that speaks modern English.

There are 200,000 with Sarakatsano roots not even 2% of Greek population
