I mean, all colors exist in our brains? The way that we perceive color is a translation of differences in the speed of lightwaves, our colored world is a hallucination of our minds.
Did you read the article?
“All colors are made up by the brain. Full stop,” says this visual scientist at Newcastle University in England. They’re our brain’s way of interpreting signals from our eyes. And they add so much meaning to things we perceive, she says.
Nah fuck that, magenta is the best color and it’s REAL TO ME god dammit
Yada yada yada brown is the same way I think

I would still differenciate between: “Does the brain map the Physical World to custom signals, or will it add something to it, because its not possible to see both”
Edit: I meant spectral color and nonspectral color.
There is still a meaningful distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors as far as I (a non-scientist) is concerned: what one is saying is “this is my perception of a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation” and non-spectral colors are “this is my perception of some kind of weird interference between opposing colors or a bizarre trick of the brain or whatever”. Color as such is still a purely mental phenomenon but what instigates that phenomenon can be different.
Thats what I was trying to say.
That there is a difference in colors between “Physical world” and “Wrong interpretation of the Physical world”
A real color versus not real.
Of course I didn’t half my time on lemmy is small bursts while I’m at work
If you didn’t read the article, then don’t leave a top-level comment.
How is it my fault if it’s top level?
Because you commented on the post directly rather than replying to another comment? Do you think top level means it got upvoted or something?
ya I’d think “top level” would be more upvoted than most but I think there weren’t any other comments at the time
Because you are responding to the post itself without reading the post. You have nothing to add if you’re fundamentally ignorant of what the source is. You may have something meaningful to add in response to another comment, but this is no different than saying "I didn’t watch this movie, but here’s what I think!’ or not doing the reading in a book club and just showing up to throw out random conjecture.
Would be pretty sweet if more sites had the option to have stuff read aloud maybe then I could actually absorb the content but going in blind to a book club does sound kind of fun it could almost be a game show or something not sure if you should get extra points for successful gaslighting on the meaning or plot points
Sociopathy and wasting everyone else’s time is not fun.
brown is basically dark orange, and is on the visible spectrum
There are lighter browns, such as tan. Brown is a desaturated orange, which could lean toward black or a lighter grey to make the hue of orange impure and result in a shade or tone that is “brown”.
