try to imagine a new colour

[Wierdguy]

My head hurts...

A better question would be - how do you describe a colour to a blind person?

 

[C95J]

I have done it! It is a mixture of Blue, and Yellow!

I shall call it... Blellow!

(god I love using old quotes)

 

[Kevon Huggins]

My.brain burnssss

 

[Mastercylinder]

Permission to make a dumb joke?

HooLooVoo!

It's like blue, only hyperintelligent!

 

[emeraldrafael]

thinking... thinking...

Gr... Brain... melting...

Almost....


AHA!!!
<youtube=z3DHZILHSLQ>

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.

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

because this thread was oh so serious and sciency that we need to be so factual.

I'm sticking with my answer. A colour that is beyond white and another that is beyond black, and maybe a combo of both.

... maybe like an anti colour. Like matter and anti matter. That would be cool.

If you know anything about colour theory or how light works then you don't even need to waste your time thinking about this one. It is literally impossible.

Also: My captcha is an advert for a camera? What the hell?

 

[Les Awesome]

Funny i always imagined aliens being a completely new colour

 

[Reaper195]

I tried this when I was about seven and realised it was impossible, because all the colours had already been used on Pokemon.

Greenfuck.

It's like a less family-friendly green.

HAHAHAHA! Oh god, dude...you have made my day. I love posts like this in threads like these.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

It's actually possible

There's a way to see greenish red and bluish yellow, ill post a link in a moment.

 

[Captain Underbeard]

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.

You see, I always thought ultra-violet and infra-red would look like funky shades of red and violet. The real mind-fuck is when you try to imagine what gamma looks like.

I imagine it looks like a set of particles that can also travel as waves AT THE SAME TIME! :-O and they're green, coz everyone knows gamma is green

 

[Ultima Shadow]

I have invented a new colour.

I call it Red 2.0.

 

[Dawns Gate]

Ultra-Yellow

Its yellow that smells like yellow

 

[JediMB]

Can't visualize something you can't perceive.

And this isn't just true about color. Anything the mind is capable of imagining internally uses what it has perceived externally as building blocks.

 

[Goofguy]

Nope, I can't do it. I just keep coming back to some sort of hybrid red and any other colour which is nothing new.

 

[thiosk]

You want to make your head really hurt? Theres no such thing as color. Color is just wavelengths of light-- packets of energy. Our eyes resolve the differences of those energy packets, and the brain thus assigns colors to those packets of energy.

At the end of the day, color is a figment of your imagination. Simply tiny variations of quantized energy within a finite range.

You know, don't want to burst you bubble but did you know light is actually [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality"]half particle, half wave[/a]? Mindfuck, isn't it?
Anyway, ZomG! That sounds amazing! Pure awesomeness!
And yay for green! Best color ever.

random note: Captcha

YES Lord Inglip! I shall find the professor and retype him!

 

[WonderWillard]

A color called.... Awesome

It would be a color that is the very essence of awesome. Just like Captain Awesome here.

Your revelations are like the colour Micro-Yellow-BG=201-Gamma-X-Chromosone-super-shine striking mine eyes yes!

But are they half-particle, half-wave? Or half-wave, half-particle? Or are they, heeheehee, one and the same and neither at the same time??

Quantum physics = fucks your shit right up

 

[LikeDustInTheWind]

There are ultraviolet and infrared colours we cannot fathom so there's those. Besides that we have everything in our current spectrum.

 

[DarthFennec]

I've imagined what an infrared- or ultraviolet-colored thing might look like (basically an impossibly intense shade of red or blue), and I can imagine this one color that I can only describe as an impossibly bland shade of grey. Those are the only three I've been able to imagine. It's really hard though ...
