We should rework colors into scientifically reliable categories.This one divides all colors perfectly into 12 colors + 3 color of brightness.Brown no longer is an "official" color, but names for darker or lighter colors can still exist.
You realize we have things like HSL right?
>>17067926Yes, and this could be also systematized into light-magenta or dark-cyan.But that's not the point, I'm saying we should rework the "common knowledge basic colors" which would help people communicate better.
>>17068268>Can I get the uhhh orange?>Sir this is an #ef0Mandatory pantone sensitivity training isn't going to solve color communication problems. More color names create more boundary colors.
isn't there some minimum quanta of energy a photon can have extra vs another photon? such that there are a limited nr of "colors" in the visual spectrum?
>>17068268You can already say that now. For normies 6 colors plus 6 in between colors in addition to the modifiers, dark, light, bright, and dull are good enough. If you need to do something artistic then just learn the actual name of the colors you want

Isn't the scientific consensus that color is just a mental hallucinatory construct all humans create in their mind?Color does not exist in the real world out in nature, and we just "Create" it in our subconscious as a way to identify reality.
>>17067923>tealno, not even in the same ballpark
>>17068439Representation, yes. Hallucination, no. It is a representation of something that is entirely real.
>>17068605>It is a representation of something that is entirely real.Which is what?
>>17068622Frequency spectra of visible light. A blade of grass reflecting visible light with a certain distribution of wavelengths is an objective physical phenomenon. That wavelength distribution interacting with different light-sensitive cells in human eyes in different ways is an objective feature of human eyes, which is real but human-specific. Colors as the human mind constructs them are a geometrically meaningful representation of how light with a certain frequency distribution interacts with human eyes.
>>17068624>Frequency spectra of visible light.That's not a real thing.
>>17068624>>17068645And even if it were a real thing, it's definitively not what color represents. You may try again.
>>17068624“Colour” is the analytic that the brain gives to the mind instead of the noisy raw data signal you described so well.[Mind]: “Brain, what color was that blurry object in the corner of my vision?”[Brain]: (checks neuro logs, sees photon stream X-UNK-000-20261006004224 was mainly in the 5000Å range) “It was Red.”
>>17068649>this is what low-IQ individuals come to actually believe if you keep blasting them with pop-sci propagandaGrim.
>>17068656>i ain’t reading shit. wats a good one word rebuttal, cuz i got nothinYoinks!
>>17068659Colors don't map to the visible spectrum. You're retarded. Case closed.
Wait...so is like....color...like.....a force.....and stuff?
>>17068646>try againNTA but what's the game you're trying to play here and what do I win when I beat you at it?
>>17068660.Define “visible spectrum”.
>>17067923>Your labels and categories suck!>Use my vocabulary and classifications instead!
>>17067923>lazur>pink not light red
>>17068436This is RGY so it's wrong. There are too many oranges and too few blues.
>>17068781My classification is superior because there's no brown, and there are more basic color around blue-green.
>>17068660What do they map to then
>>17068622Absorption levels of different cone cells in the retina sensitive to different spectral bands.>>17070214Yes, you hate niggers, we all got that from the OP. Join the club. Your system is still fucking retarded.
>>17070230I deleted brown because it's not a basic color, it's a dark red/orange/yellow.Black is still there.
>>17070216>What do they map to thenYou tell me. They definitely don't map to that. They don't actually map to anything "objective".
>>17070230>Absorption levels of different cone cells in the retina sensitive to different spectral bands.That's definitively wrong. Try again.
>>17070230>Absorption levels of different cone cells in the retina sensitive to different spectral bands.that clearly can't be true and i'd have thought even pop sci normies like you would have caught on to that by now
