Here's another wild bit of vision information that can kind of mess with your mind, so proceed at your own risk: We see our own nose AT ALL TIMES. Our noses are never not in our line of sight, but our brains have learned to block it out through something called unconscious selective attention. That way it isn't constantly distracting us. Good luck on forgetting that soon and going back to not seeing your own nose. :)

I think it is a colour, so it is a colour.

So if everyone's brains are just interpreting what the color yellow is supposed to be, then does everyone actually see a different color that everyone else? My brain makes it slightly more of one shade than someone else's? Does that make sense?

i... i need a minute

This is off topic, but does anyone miss when people used to spell out words (or at least try) in their entirety? Reading the first sentence of this post and I'm already lost. Oh well, it is what it is I supposed. Anyway, I like magenta.

Pink isn't a colour either, it's just light red. Brown isn't a colour, it's dark orange. Our brains are just making everything up, reality is a lie.

I am a woman with a colorblind dad and passed on his gene to both of my sons. There is some experimenting that women carrying this gene may actually have a 4th cone??? We've been experimenting .......how we perceive color. I am an artist and color has always been my forte. I believe I could mix up what is known as magenta with a pallet of paint. It's interesting. As long as they can at least stop or go at the stoplights and such, I don't worry all that much, I do feel bad that they can't see colors the way I do, and god love em' they do try to guilt me about the gene thing..cest"la vie ....the rest is kind of a matter of perception. ;-)

I am NOT okay with this! I love magenta.

CMYK anyone? Shall we now call it PMYK?

The ancient Greeks did not have a word for, or concept of, what we call blue. Pink is another color that doesn't exist on the spectrum and the color is named for the flowers which have an uneven or 'pinked' edge. And originally it was the color for boys. Blue was for girls. The fruit came before the color orange. The sun is actually white. And pencils are yellow because that was the royal color in China where the best graphite was produced.

There are three primary colors on the color wheel: red, yellow, and blue. When you mix these colors you get the secondary colors: red + yellow = orange ( more red in the mix = red - orange), yellow + blue = green ( again it can be yellowish green or blue- green), blue + red = purple (violet) hue when there is more blue than red in the mix; and when there's more red then blue you get red-violet or magenta, or fuchsia. And all kinds of other hues when you mix primary colors with secondary colors, or two (or more) secondary colors together, the sky is the limit. Then there are neutral colors: white, grey, beige, brown, and black. That's in interior design, fashion. Was wad discussed in this post were colors in photography.

Really cool article!

Magenta, just like Cyan is part of the additive CMYK colour separation (adding to Black). Not to be mistaken with the negative system used on TV (adding to White). This article is wasting a lot of time denying colours such as Chartreuse, etc,.... Where do we stop! Those colours can all be perceived and used. What a load of bull.

What!? All this time there are really no Magenta or Stygian Blue? What next my neighbors are not really there? :-(

And if something is green, it can also be food. Or it might be poisonous. Then it's a source of danger, I guess.

Forbidden fruit Forbidden color Coincidence? I think not!

I think we (humans) don't know as much as we think we know and try to fill voids by making wild statements based on less than half the facts. While interesting points of view some of these ideas seem like utter nonsense to me... but hey, that's just my opinion.

i am not afraid to say i have spent 10 minutes googling this and texting my friends, "did you know". half of them say shut up and 'if you can't see it, who named it? a blind man? and i have nothing....

Don't worry magenta, you'll always be real to me ❤️❤️❤️

Cats can't see reds/pinks too well. Dogs see the spectrum as brown-gray-blue. Birds can see ultraviolet. I think the perception of magenta is really not worth any existential angst... Especially on a Monday!

Printers and artists have known this for a long time

I work in print and we only use colors. Cyan, magenta, yellow and black. And if you want to get technical Black isn't a color.

This must be what they mean when they say that a person dyed their hair a color not found in nature.

Fascinating

Your f*****g censorship (incomplete, by the way), looks f*****g childish. Stop f*****g censoring content you post. The profanity in this content is part of what makes it fun science.

I learned a bit of this when I researched purple. Purple is my favorite color, yet it is rarely seen in nature. We see violet in nature, which to me looks kinda like another shade of blue. So I couldn't help but wonder, does real purple even exist? So I googled if it's real and turns out, not really. The rainbow doesn't even have any true purple. Purple is just what our brain interprets red + blue as. It doesn't have it's own separate light wavelength, which makes it a fake color

And y'all ppl fight over what clothes look good on u in which colour. Really u ppl just need. To take a nap. Much better than fashion show and what not It's really funny ppl giving so much importance to things, that is just literally the guesswork of ur brain. And ur brain says f**k it, it's not important. Gods looking at girls fighting In a sale makes me worried about the evolution of the species.
