Would you say that can be possible by now?

Or not?

No because colors that aren't already existing are beyond human comprehension. If you're a normal person it should hurt your head just thinking about colors that aren't based on ones that already exist.

A new color would rip a hole in the universe because it isn't a type of matter that can theoretically exist.

This thread is 2 deep 4 me

Any different color is just a different shade or tint of a former color.

But color isn't matter, it's the human perception of reflected light bouncing off objects, with white reflecting all the colors and black absorbing all the colors

Yes but if it's not showing up as anything in the entire visible spectrum of light it doesn't exist. Unless it's transparent.

No. That is dark white. Bright black is not the same.

Could you give us an example?

Neon Maroon.

FML

Only tetrachromats and beyond can see "new" colors.

If we invented a new color, it'd just be another reason for the KKK and the Neo-Nazis to say white is the ultimate color. Are you really that much of a racist, OP?

you cannot since our brains cannot perceive it

Isn't the human eye only capable of recognizing 250,000,000 colors ? Anything beyond those the eye would probably not pick up on.
One does not simple invent a new color

And that's where many people are wrong. Light is in fact matter. It is comprised of a very small matter call photons. The reason we call it energy is because it is unstable matter, but it is matter non-the-less. What many people don't understand is that all things are made of energy, including atoms, they are just different type of energies. In fact, without you realizing, even as you sit down reading this, you are in fact moving at speeds faster than electricity since you are made of atoms, which are made of energy.

I have created a new colour.

I call it... blourange.

No, that's Irrestistable set to 2/3 transparency on a white background.

Setting transparency over a background mixes the colours, creating a new colour, regardless of what colours they were made from.

They have that already. I cannot find link sadly (or zelda for that matter).

I would Google but don't have much time right now

When you have access to the Dulux paint range, there is no need to find new colours.

That's still not a new color, it's a shade of an existing one.

I've invented a new color!

*SEIZURE WARNING!!!*

Fuck, I failed at Flash.

I shall call it... bluellow.

That would make it dark grey.

It's impossible, it's outside human perception, it's the whole point of the colour spectrum and the such.

My mind still can't comprehend that some colors can be classified as another completely unrelated color. Why would I want another color INVENTED?

Supposedly there are colors that are simultaneously Blue and Yellow (not green) and Red and Green (not brown) but our don't have the right receptors to pick up on the conflicting wavelengths.

New colors do exist, we just can't see them.

Ever thought what color the waves below and above the visible spectrum would look like if we could see them?

This topic makes me feel tarded.
