So I’ve been seeing a lot about these colors that aren’t supposed to exist apparently? Like magenta, stygian blue, etc and I kind of get what’s going on but also kind of don’t? I’ve seen explainations of this on the internet before but never fully understood, so if anyones able to help with that I’d appreciate it. Don’t want a watered down explaination (I like technical stuff), just a more understandable and approachabe one

As people said “real” colors are specific wavelengths of light and “impossible” colors are mixtures.
I find the whole thing incredibly stupid.
Colors only exist because our eyes can detect them, there are plenty of other wavelengths of light.
There is no consensus of how the color red looks (other than a specific frequency of light and “it looks red to me”).
Did you know pizza is “impossible”! It doesn’t actually exist. It’s actually a mix of dough, tomato sauce and cheese.
