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?
>>
>>17067926
Yes, 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.

>Can I get the uhhh orange?
>Sir this is an #ef0
Mandatory 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?
>>
>>17068268
You 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.

no, not even in the same ballpark

Representation, yes. Hallucination, no. It is a representation of something that is entirely real.

>It is a representation of something that is entirely real.
Which is what?
>>
>>17068622
Frequency 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
>>17068645
And 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.”

Yoinks!

Colors don't map to the visible spectrum. You're retarded. Case closed.

Wait...so is like....color...like.....a force.....and stuff?

NTA 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”.

This is RGY so it's wrong. There are too many oranges and too few blues.
>>
>>17068781
My classification is superior because there's no brown, and there are more basic color around blue-green.
>>
>>17068660
What do they map to then
>>
>>17068622
Absorption levels of different cone cells in the retina sensitive to different spectral bands.

>>17070214
Yes, you hate niggers, we all got that from the OP. Join the club. Your system is still fucking retarded.
>>
>>17070230
I 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 then
You 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.

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
