Why do this bastard color exist even when physical reality says it shouldn't? Our brain is a trickster and I hate it.

Explain.
>>
>>16859064
Not him. But a mixture of red and blue shouldn't be possible under a naive understanding of how color works.
If color = frequency then you should only see gradients between adjacent colors which red and blue are about as far apart as you can get.

The reason it is, in fact, possible is because your red cones have a peak in the higher-frequencies as well as lower frequencies. So they essentially have a dedicated "purple/violet/magenta" band along with their standard "red" mode of activation.

If it's not real, then either nothing is real, or the word 'real' doesn't mean anything. Your entire notion of 'real' is derived from what you're denying.

there's two things that matter besides your brain interpretation
1) Other people having the same interpretation matching your own
E.g. If you are the only one "hearing voices" or "seeing this" chances are you are insane.
Ofc there is also the potential of mass psychosis and hallucination and there are records of it happening in history

But there is also number 2 which is more important than 1
2) Your brain interpretation giving you some sort of edge in survival
E.g. if you are the only one hearing voices but the voices tell you the lottery numbers and you win every time, then they are real.

Muuuuuhhhhhhhhh
>>
>>16859071
Ill never understand why green is a primary color, but also green is yellow+blue. why the fuck isnt yellow a primary color but green is?
>>
>>16860714
because yellow is what you perceive when you see red wavelengths and green wavelengths simultaneously.
you should abandon the RYB model because it's outdated, RGB has already proven that red green blue are the true primary color wiring of our brain.
>>
>>16860714
The RYB color system is an obsolete version of the modern RGB system.
So a lot of older people grew up being told green is a mix of yellow and blue and that became popular perception. But in the modern color system yellow is a composite of green and red.
>>
>>16860921
>>16860927
Im an artist, when you mix yellow and blue paint you get green. when you mix red and green you get brown. with RYB+white and black you can mix any color on the spectrum, but if you replaced yellow with green you'd be fucked. I understand scientifically it IS green but none of that actually explains why theres a disconnect between how our brains perceive it and the way you work with colors IRL.
>>
>>16860933
no one taught you the mechanics between additive coloring and subtractive coloring kid?
>>
>>16860933
>paint
As the other anon pointed out, this is a subtractive coloring process. The system you should be using for this is CYM (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta).
>>
>>16860714
>Ill never understand why green is a primary color, but also green is yellow+blue. why the fuck isnt yellow a primary color but green is?
Green is not a primary color in a system where yellow+blue=green (subtractive) but it is a primary color in one where green+red=yellow (additive). The additive system is a more direct match for how the eye works, because you have three types of photoreceptor cells in your eye, and simultaneously stimulating the ones whose responses peak at green and red (using red and green light) can produce the same response as the "pure" wavelength associated with yellow.
>>
>>16860927
>>16860946
How long until people realize that Yellow and Cyan are equally as fake as Magenta?
>>
>>16860952
>retarded and irrelevant schizo drivel
There is no such thing as "fake" colors. Magenta is no more real or fake than red.

There is no such thing as a "composite of two colors" except in the figurative language of people who can't/needn't distinguish between pigments, wavelengths of light and perceptions.
>>
>>16860961
Red is a composite of Magenta and Yellow in the CYM system.

>>16860969
Yeah but do CYM conform to cone additive responses retard? Obviously not, it's RGB-based.

>>

Not at all. I'm just issuing a reminder that every color you will ever see will be what you mistakenly refer to as a "composite color". By your logic, all colors are "fake", except for the purely theoretical ones induced by somehow activating cone cells in isolation. In reality, actual color perception is so many levels of abstraction above what you're basing your dumb argument on, that the distinction you're trying to make simply doesn't exist.

This is now a green cat thread.
>>
>>16860000
Checked.
>>
>>16860714
Our eyes have 3 photo detectors that are attuned to red, green and blue. They don't cover single wavelength but rather a spectrum with some distribution that peaks at their colour. Each of them gives you value in intensity, means that cones that perceive red will also to some extent perceive yellow but you will get the signal back as red but with lower intensity.
Since cones overlap our brain can calculate colours that are located inbetween based on the intensity. Since red and green cones overlap in their spectrum, we can perceive yellow as yellow because it gives signal to both, red and green. That way our brain can "see" rainbow without actual yellow etc. detectors. Just by interpolating values between binary detectors.
>>16859032
And this is the reason this shit happens. We have overlap between blue and red which should give us green. But our green detector tells us there is no green. This is why our brain has to conjure another colour that doesn't exist. It's basically an additional function that calculates overlap between blue and red with green being set to zero

Because you're not talking about the same kind of blue. Yellow and CYAN (or close to cyan) paint makes green. Pure yellow and PURE blue (on the left) will not make green, it makes grey because pure yellow and pure blue are opposite colors.

It's literally just because people think cyan/sky blue are "blue" but those colors aren't the blue we're referring to when we talk about RGB colors.

>>16859032
Colour is a creation of the mind, not wavelengths.

With a post like this:
>>16862005
>you're not talking about the same kind of blue

You are indicating you don't understand the source of confusion about green.
The confusion comes from the historical use of the RYB model. Nothing else.
>>
>>16862005
>Yellow and CYAN (or close to cyan) paint makes green.
No, retard. Yellow and blue make green. I know your ChatGPT-style verbal token processes and inability to do anything in real life lead you to believe otherwise, but actually try working with real paints and you will see reality is not your ChatGPT-friendly, simplistic color model abstraction.

>>16862298

>>
>>16860954
depends on how you look at it. primary colors are first order representation for reality. you can always trust them. red/green/blue. anything else can be faked.
second order are composite colors, yellow, cyan, magenta. and everything else. white as well. hell, we can see white just with two wavelengths, something between blue and cyan and something between red and orange, enough to trigger all color cones.
since we have no way of knowing if we're looking at yellow photons or green/+red ones (unless you have some piece of glass) that means we cannot accurately discern reality. thus the only colors we could ever trust are red/green/blue, the rest can be "faked". I guess magenta can also be trusted as it only means one thing.
all colors are brain's representation for reality, for some reality. no reason we shouldn't be able to perceive new colors. we just didn't have to

there is representation of both yellow photons, and green + red photons, which is the same for our brain. it cannot know, based on the info coming from your eye cells
>You don't see "wavelengths" and you don't see "photons"
there is literally nothing else you are seeing, but photons, and wavelengths of photons, though not all and it's confusing.
for example, if you need yellow photons and get a source of green + red photons, that will be useless for your application

yes there is, I can literally detect them with scientific gear. you can detect individual photon energy levels.
you can deny science as much as you want schizo, it will never change reality. you have zero power over it, you must accept it or there will be consequences. just like you know not to jump from a bridge, because of the obvious consequences of that.
both yellow photons (~580nm) and green + red photons stimulate your eye cells the same, your brain cannot tell them apart, but they are different. you can never change this or prove otherwise.
