eli5: Why is it impossible to imagine new colors?
In: 562
One things i have not yet seen in top answer: you actually might imagened new color but did not realise it.
It is facinating to read how color conceptions were created from start.
And one of the best part is blue color, through thousands years ago sky was blue and blue thing were still blue, the word “blue” did not existed. Eg greek Philosofers craftsmans and artist called blue as “dark red” ( their logic was after saturation effect, where some blue colors looks like red if saturation is low. Other called is pale yellow drawing connection to sun. As an nice exersise i do recommend to find history if pink color and why at some point it was called “**** green”
