Have you ever wondered if there are colors beyond our perception, hues so alien they exist just outside the grasp of human vision? Scientists are pushing the boundaries of what we can see, venturing into uncharted chromatic territories with the help of lasers and innovative experiments.
Imagine a color so unique it defies description within the standard RGB palette, a shade unprecedented in human experience. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Washington have reportedly achieved just that, conjuring an artificial color they've tentatively named "olo." This isn't a color readily found in the natural world, but a creation born from meticulous experimentation aimed at unraveling the complexities of color vision and addressing the challenges of color blindness. The process, however, is far from conventional, requiring a precisely calibrated laser prototype to stimulate the retina in a way that unlocks perception of this new color.
