Thread: EXTREME Lucid Experiments

I don't think it would be possible to create a new color...If your mind has not seen it it most likely isn't possible.

Yes I know people will be like "OOOOOHH EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN A DREAM!" but come on people, get real, a new color? pshhh

We already have our basic colors (red, blue, yellow) and all those colors get mixed into different color schemes which creates millions of different color schemes. You may have thought you created a new color but you most likely didn't.

I havent been able to try to yet, and i don't think i will consciously be able to create a new color, i havent seen, but that is why i am gonna try and ask a DC, they seem to know stuff i dont know. so it could be interesting or it could be retarded, you never truly know till you try

It's not a question of ability!!! Totally new colors are IMPOSSIBLE for your mind to comprehend because we can only see a minute spectrum of colors -

Quote from the Wikipedia article on it (I can't explain, I don't know the jargon) -

"Color or colour[1] is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, yellow, blue, black, etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors."

That's why we see colors - we can't just invent more!

I am not saying it is guaranteed, and I am not putting it out of the possibility though. Our eyes see only a minute spectrum but that is b/c we dont have receptors to see anything else, It wont be possible for me to "create" a new color but it may be possible since your mind is what interprets the signals from you eyes to have the ability to see those not through your eyes. your minds eye type thing may have more of the receptors, we just dont know how to use them. I am just saying I am gonna try and ask a DC and see what happens, I know how our eyes and the light spectrum work, im in the study to be a surgeon, it will just be fun to see what happens, it may not be physically possible but maybe a mental look, not using the receptors you have in your real eyes. I want to try and see what happens is all.

I think it might be possible. People mention in it Stephen LaBerges book, and besides, our eyes only percieve a small spectrum of color... who knows? I think a new color would provoke more of a feeling than actually being able to describe...

It is really hard to imagine isnt it?
This is interesting.

But I am sure that it would be of a complete different category than the spectrum we use now. In other words, you wouldn't be able to paint it, because our eyes obviously percieve what we already know

This is weird...

You could create a new color, but how would you describe it to people?

yeah i dont know how i would describe a new color, it would be very difficult, I have been having somewhat of a dry spell for the last couple days, so i am gonna try again tonight and see if i can get an LD and talk to my DCs
