eli5: Why is it impossible to imagine new colors?
In: 562
Simple analogy.
Please try to imagine a direction that is not some combination of updown, forwardback, leftright.
You cant. Because 3 dimensions.
Similarily colour is 3 dimensional and trying to think of a new colour is like trying to see into higher dimensions.
There arent any new colours to see that arent just completely orthogonal to your perception.
