      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.

        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.

          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 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

                    Hey now I haven’t said anything nasty about you

                    Though you do have a point that it could be more fun with other people in on it but competing with their own lies though that might need to take the form of trashy reality tv with a quiz show part attached where contestants get more points if someone uses their lie then again if you meta game it enough it could become almost like a prisoner’s dilemma where it’s better to score another player extra point than risk getting it wrong so no one gets points

              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

        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”.
