        Just for that I’m going to team up with the historians and say you fell off a horse selling bad copper.

    What about hyperbolic orange? Stygian blue? Self-luminous red?

    Look, if you don’t include florescent black, why even bother?

      Colors are a retinal construct

        Both. There is a perception that’s 100% biological for sure. But lumping all the blue tones together, that’s social. Some languages (including Russian and Greek) have different words for light and dark blue, other languages have one word blue and green (sometimes translated as “grue”). Sure they can see the difference and name it (leave grue vs ocean grue for example) but socially, they perceive it as the same “color category”.

      They are combination of colors rather than a specific wavelength. (Similar to white, which is combination of all of them)

        Brown is actually dark orange. It just became its own thing when we gave it a distinct name. So people who know more color names really can see more colors.

        This is wrong

        The “combination” is just a lower value, here orange-red.

        Colors we can see are a combination of value, chroma (called saturation when it’s in a computer) and hue.
