A color that you never seen before. You ask how do you comprehend the incomprehensible. By saying that it is incomprehensible.
I've thought about it too, and though I can't think what it would look like, I would call it inop, and I would cry the first time my eyes gazed upon such a majestic sight.
Redder than red (infared) or a very deep indigo. And to those who don't know, there are soooo many colors on the spectrum we can't see; and we can't even wrap our minds around it. its like a colorblind person trying to imagine what a rainbow looks like.
This is what I like to quote when someone tries to tell me that we should take everything science tells us for granted, and that only what we see is real. Humans have difficulty grasping ideas that their minds can't picture or comprehend. -Matt
crazy thought, but say your hearing was super sensitive, like more than any living thing, could you hear colors? what would the colors sound like?
In my view there are no such color that haves never been seen all colors are made out of mixing all ready known colors producing a new shade of the color so when u see a shade of color u haven't already seen u seen it before just in different form. And anyways what is color like yellow <<this is not a color its a word a symbol for a color. For eg if I would see yellow as blue in my head we would agree on anything that is yellow, u could say yellow is a warm color and I would agree yes it is because when I look at the blue sun I feel warm. So colors don't actually exist only the particular perception of the color exist. Like this blind man he haves never seen any colors but he paints all he needs to know is the perception of the color and the world. He knows that green means grass so if u ask him to paint a green car he will paint it correctly to the ppl that can see.

What if everyone sees different colors. My green could look different than everyone elses green. When I look at grass it could be a totally different color than what the person next to me sees, yet it is still green to both of us
Exactly reality is subjective. For all we know every person is caring a different universe within the mind and to some extent we do. Look at a religious man he sees the world in completely different way then an atheist does why because he was taught from childhood to see in a sear ten way. If the mind is taught from an early age to see blue as yellow, yellow will be the truth color of blue and no meter what evidence will be presented to say otherwise the mind will have a very hard time to except that it is a lie because every time mind looks at the color all the confirmation is there. A religious man looks and the sun rise and the wiring of the brain tells him its the will of god the confirmation is the because he thinks its there. How do u tell which perspective is right which is wrong? Could it be that the commonly agreed perspective is correct but even the majorities mentality had to start with one persons view what if she/he was wrong. Maybe there is no wrong or wright way to look at the world the wright way is your way. I mean even the most evil men had good intentions in the end, its just that the world didn't see it the same way lol.
but then wouldn't that mean that our concepts of complementary colors, etc. are taught? Like, there are certain color combinations that most people say look good together. I would attribute that to our senses. If what you hypothesize is correct, than our concepts of colors that look good together are taught at an early age rather than just instinct.
Colors ironically depend a lot on what we associate them with. Red for example, is associate with the devil to me, early on in my society and although I do not conciously believe in the devil, my mind still holds that at some level. The reason I proved this was because I started to focus my mind(remind myself) on the idea that the devil does not exist and I started to enjoy that color more. Try it, take a color that you have an association with, such as pink and focus the mind on a different association (Ie. pink is for girls) then see what happens.
Not necessarily. I could be seeing two colors that look good together and you might be seeing two totally different colors that also look good together.
it looks like what it is... regardless of what I think it looks like... if a guy falls down in the forest, and I'm color blind, does he not still have on RED?! Oh, this is intense in the thoughts.
Yes he still has on "red" because "red" is just a name given to an abstraction to make it concrete. But what if "red" is not the same for everyone?
