try to imagine a new colour

[cfb_rolley]

Right, so, I'm not talking about a new shade of purple or something like that.

Try to imagine a new colour, as in a completely new section in the spectrum of light colours. what would it look like? how could you describe it? has your brain fried yet or is it actually possible to "create" something that doesn't exist inside your head? I've tried to do this way too many times before and failed but if you can, then you're probably god, but even if you can't what name would you call this new colour?

I tried to do this, it's impossible.

I've tried a lot as well. I haven't been able to do it, the best I have managed has only made me see black with the impression that it is a colour, like I can't see the colour, but it is there ... you know? But no, I've never actually been able to imagine a colour outside of my current visual capacities.

Hmm... On that form about stuff you can do that nobody believes you can do I mentioned how this was impossible already, not saying that inspired your post just mentioning that fun-fact. Your brain can't because it was only designed to interpret the colors your eyes can detect, andthing outside of the possible spectrim is beyond imagination, it would be unrealated to existing colors, beyond concievability. Some species of butterfly can see other colors, because their brains can interpret them. Ours can't

Not possible, because our eyes can only respond to EM radiation in between ~450-800nm. It is quite literally impossible for us to conceptualize what higher or lower energy photons might look, because, well, what we perceive as color is nothing more than a simple chemical reaction brought on by the excitation of an electron on a long molecule in our eyes. Lower energy than 800nm won't result in a response, and higher than 450nm will result in the destruction of the molecule. Simple chemistry, really.

Morange.
It's like orange, but with more Ms.

Greenfuck.

It's like a less family-friendly green.

Infra-Violet-Glurpaple.

I can't even describe it

I laughed very much at this.

Your literally fucking my brain on this one.
It hurts to think of another colour.

Serious: Is it even possible to do this? Aren't our Brains physically limited to only the colors we can see now?

hehe, seriously thoug, I dont know. maybe the shade that is beyond black or white.

white is all colors equaly, black is no colors, how do you have a shade beyond that?

Exactly. Once you see it, it will fucking blow your mind and probably melt it, but it will be beautiful. Thats what I'm banking on as a new colour.

You know, I actually tried to when I found out bees can see part of the ultra-violet spectrum.

However, it is phisically impossible to imagine any color outside our color spectrum because... well, we can't see it. Hence how "heat vision" works since it gets the temperatures and associate it with a color inside our visible spectrum.

So, for more awesome it may be, we may never be able to see any color above the violet or below the red. A shame really....

Setting aside this phisics/biology limitations bullshit, I imagine postpully. A color I can't describe because it's just too awesome for your brain to grasp it.

When you see it nothing would happen, your brain couldn't process it, if it had all existing colors combined, you yould see white, if you had no existing colors, black. Your brain can only process the colors it was designed to process, which are the ones that your eyes can detect through a chemical reaction. So if you saw a new color, you would not actualy see it because it wouldn't be between 450 and 800nm, which is the spectrum that can stimulate our eyes to detect light. So if you saw a new color, you wouldn't actualy see it
