Question.....

Mattie · June 2007

You know we instinctively see the colour we know as Orange and call it Orange because we have grown up calling it that..... still following me? What if we grew up calling it something like Purple or Green? Would that make a difference to us? I've wondered about this for a while now.

I've also thought about something like that. Also how do we know all our eyes see the same colour. My blue might be Matties pink [xx(]

then we could call it purple/green. The colour has no relation to the word, we have just been conditioned into interlinking the two

Whoever has access to issue #174 of MBUK, flick to page 51 (no not the pic top right, that would just hurt!).

I like to think that there is a new, undiscovered colour waiting to be found. Somewhere in space perhaps.

Hmmm can't see how that can work because of the colour spectrum.

Nice to think it though.

don't some animals have like loads more sensitive eyes and have like 8 primary colours or something?

jamiejim · June 2007

I think our eyes are pretty pathetic compared with some animals

rich_teague · June 2007

I think our whole physique is pathetic compared with some animals.

So narrow minded. People thought the Sun circled the earth for yonks. I think there are more than 3 primary colours.

But i suppose it's all relative, they have better bodies and eyes because they need them to escape from predators/catch prey. Whereas we have no natural predators and our food is handed to us on a plate

OK ddoogie, Imagine youve just discoloured a new colour. Describe what it looks like and what would you call it?

Its an irridescent white with a compexity of underlying pinks and greens that twist and merge into each other.

I would call it Tio

All off the top of my head, haven't thought about it much...

So surely thats not a new colour just a mix of other colours?

I must have spent whole days of my life when i used to get stoned thinking about this exact topic.
Oh, and also about how your eyes' lenses flip the image upside down before it reaches your retinas. What would the world look like if they didn't do that?
