Is It Possible To Think Of A New Color?
Colour
What is colour?
Colour is nothing but photons with a wavelength which triggers the sensitive cone
cells in our retina. The wavelength spectrum which corresponds to the visible
light is from 380 – 780 nanometers. Now the question arises, is it possible to
think of a new colour? Contrary to popular belief, the answer is yes.
A photon
which has a wavelength of 380 followed by infinite 0 and then a 1 is distinct
relative to a photon which has a wavelength of 380 followed by infinite 0 and
then a 2. These two different waves are technically two different colours. Therefore,
through deductive reasoning, I conclude that it is possible to think of a new
colour as there are infinite different wavelengths inside the electromagnetic spectrum
which is nothing but infinite colours.
So those of you saying that you can’t think of
a new colour, scientifically, it is possible to imagine another one. However, you
won’t notice it as a new colour due to the lack of sensitivity of your cone
cells.
