eli5: Why is it impossible to imagine new colors?
In: 562
Is it? When I design things in my head that don’t already exist, I see a wire frame type thing in my mind. The color of the wires is not something I can describe but maybe sort of an electric pinkish-green. If I think of something that exists it’s the normal color.
As far as I can tell it’s just a color my brain uses when the actual color is unknown or irrelevant.
Edit: Something else sort of interesting. My brain has no trouble distinguishing the boundaries of those objects even though they are all the same color and have no real depth.
