eli5: Why is it impossible to imagine new colors?
In: 562
I had a dream once where the sky was a mixture of bright blue and violet-brown but I have no way to describe the color of violet-brown to anyone. And in this dream many flowers that shouldn’t have had spots in patterns on them like daffodils in the a bit more shimmery and “darker” violet-brown somewhat like spots on a banana.
So I can imagine the color but I don’t have words to convey it and have no way to show it to people.
