Try to imagine a new color and describe it.

It can't be done. Every color on the spectrum is derived from the original six. The human mind cannot comprehend anything else, it's impossible.

It's a colour that isn't like any of the known ones

Hmm... what if we could see in ultraviolet, could that side of the spectrum be said to have colors?

We already know the existence of the colour purple

Do I see the same colours that you do? Or is the blue you see the same as the red I see?

>> No.4207925

It's like a dual-color, almost like two colors existing at the same time, but they aren't mixed, and it's a new color, but when I think of this color I associate it with two colors, namely a sky/electric blue and bright yellow, it also has a sense of motion to it, it isn't moving but it feels like everything's moving when I close my eyes and picture it. It's not really the presence of two colors or the blending of two colors, but more the contrast of the colors, and it's a color that I don't see anywhere else but my mind, and I'm able to imagine colors like this for any set of colors.

We both see the same wavelengths of light, so regardless of how our mind interprets it, we're seeing the same thing

>> No.4207938

>>4207917
No. What you are seeing is your brain's interpretation of certain wavelengths. To ask if they're different is nonsensical and presupposes that the part of your brain that interprets colour is not a part of "you".

Not quite like that of the skunk-cabbage, but plainly related and equally unknown to anyone who saw it.
