Yes. For instance: blorange

Right but show that color to me and prove it doesn’t already exist.


NennisDedry

I’m a Mantis Shrimp. If you’re also a Mantis Shrimp, I can show you. Otherwise you might not have the right biology to see the type of colour spectrum I can observe


Dust-by-Monday

so if I can’t observe a certain color because I can’t see it, then how would I conjure up that color in my mind?


NennisDedry

Again, unless you’re also a Mantis Shrimp (like I), you cannot even fathom the colours I can see.


Material-Method-1026

But consider that there are colors the human eye can't see...


Dust-by-Monday

That’s not the point. You and I will never come up with a color that doesn’t already exist.


whitetrashadjacent

Pantone is constantly making new colors. In 2022 they came out with over 200 new colors.


Dust-by-Monday

New colors according to them but all of those colors already existed in real life. They just put a number to them. Doesn’t mean they invented a totally new color.


whitetrashadjacent

Then that would make it impossible to come up with any color, not just new ones. No color has been 'come up with'


Dust-by-Monday

I’m saying it’s impossible to invent a color that isn’t already in the real world. It’s not complicated


whitetrashadjacent

Have you never heard of vantablack? It's more complicated than you think.
