How else would you cosplay as neopolitan ice cream?

Get you and your alternative expression of human development, prosperity, and productivity out of here. This is a science channel!!
Just for that I’m going to team up with the historians and say you fell off a horse selling bad copper.
Damnit Ea-nasir!
What about hyperbolic orange? Stygian blue? Self-luminous red?
Put the colors away, man, they’re callin’ the cops
Colors are a social construct
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”.

In Turkish it is “mavi” and “lacivert”. They are seen as different as yellow and orange.
Yea yea yea. Technically speaking they are a bio psycho social construct. they are a sensory experience filtered through an individuals physical, mental and cultural factors. But it does not roll of the tongue so well.
Black and white I geht. But Brown an magenta?
They are combination of colors rather than a specific wavelength. (Similar to white, which is combination of all of them)
Any of the colors can theoretically be created using a combination of multiple colors (see RGB)
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.
No it’s not. Orangey-brown is kinda dark orange I guess, but greenish brown is certainly not
what’s the hexcode for greenish brown?
lighted-display (like a monitor or TV) of brown is dark orange, yes.
In the actual, real, no the physical world, the one you wake up in before getting on the lighted rectangles, brown is a real color.
Except it isn’t “real” in the sense that it doesn’t correspond to a specific wavelength of light. It is impossible to produce a brown light; the closest you can get is amber. The color brown is context-dependent and only exists in our perception. To display brown on a screen you have to use orange, desaturate it, and make sure it’s darker than its surroundings.
If you pull up a solid brown image on your phone and hold it against a darker background (you may need to turn off the lights), you will see orange.
Right, but in real-life, not in producing a lighted color, just like looking: things are brown. A coffee stain, say.
If you were to point a spectrometer at something brown like a tree trunk you would see wavelengths corresponding to red and green light. That’s what I mean when I say brown only exists in our perception; there is no wavelength of light corresponding to the color brown.
darker than what? There is no such thing as dark light, colors like brown and pink that are lighter or darker require a comparison point to see
Do you see them in the rainbow? That’s because they’re lies!
