comparablesubstitute:aerospace-explorer:did-you-kno:did-you-kno:Magenta isn’t found anywhere on the visible color spectrum. It doesn’t even have a wavelength. I’m serious. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s time to stop lying to yourself.SourceFun fact; due to the way your eye detects color, that is, the three types of cone cell: S, M, and L (blue, green, and red, respectively), there are colors that, while technically possible, cannot be seen, due to the fact that the mix of signals required for the eye to send the signals that would cause them cannot be generated by visible light. This is because the wavelengths that activate these cones overlap.In particular, because your “green cones” are in the middle, in terms of sensitivity to wavelength, any possible light that activates them also activates your “red cones” and/or your “blue cones”. This means that there is a green that you are, theoretically, capable of perceiving, should you induce “green cones” to fire without firing “red” or “blue cones”, but it’s literally impossible for any real object to ever look that green.So magenta isn’t real, and there’s a real green you can never see.Eyes are weird.this is bullshit, let me see ＨＹＰＥＲＧＲＥＥＮ -- source link
