    Intertesting research, but it is not a colour. It is a human’s visual sensation created by giving the brain unusual inputs. If you take the same light and measure it spectrum, it is not new.

      Ok but it’s a new experience that no one has had before. The only reason why the set of electromagnetic wavelengths is special is because it’s part of the human experience. So seeing something outside of that normal perception is arguably seeing a new color.

      Did you know we only experience pink as our red and blue cell receptors being stimulated at the same time? There is no pink wavelength.

    I wonder if it’s quite like anti-red

    Stare at the center of a bright red circle for like 30 seconds,

    Then look away at a white surface.

    It looks like what those people in the article describe, especially in the “holy shit I’ve never seen that before” feeling.

    Wow quite a super interesting read.

    The doors of perception can be opened to many different avenues.
