        Pink isn’t real. There is no wavelength of light that is pink.

          Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.

            Light frequencies between blue and red don’t exist.

          Clearly, it’s light-ish red.

            For pink light to be perceived, it needs red cones to fully react, and both green and blue cones to only partially activate.

                Wavelength of green light = 550nm

                Wavelength of pink light = N/A

                    There is no disagreement. Merriam/Websters definition of color is not scientific. Science says pink light doesn’t exist.

      the brain’s actually trying to understand what things are made of, and it’s guessing at that based on the light that enteres the eye.

      this is why when you pick up a thing outside and take it inside, it doesnt change color (edge cases exist), even though the light that reflects off of it into your eye absolutely changes a lot.
