      To create is heavily contingent upon pre-existing knowledge. How does one create anything completely novel? It would be like asking someone with a sensory deficit, e.g. blindness, to create something that relates to said sense. For without the person having any prior experience to visual stimuli, I cannot fathom such happening (almost).

      I think this discussion dead-ended awhle ago

      until somebody tries this, succeeds or fails, there isn't much else to say about the color thing.

      I may have found it

      On the subject of creating a new colour I may have come a little closer to solving this little challenge. I myself am incapable of Lucid Dreaming, I only ever did it once and the only lucid thing about it was forcing myself awake because i got scared. I have never had a real lucid dream and, although I imagine it would be a fantastic skill to have, I doubt I ever will.

      My 'solution' is something much, much simpler. When you close your eyes you never see complete blackness do you? I don't. What I see, everytime, almost without exception is a swirling mist of dark colours all disolving into one another and regenerating shortly after and this, my friends, is where I found my answer.

      The one that stands out the most is what looks to have the darkness of black but the striking brightness and 'blood', so to speak, of green. Now try to imagine that then set it on fire. That is what I believe is a colour created by my mind.

      Does anyone see what I mean?

      P.S. What is a DC?

      Yeah I guess it doesn't. Ah well. But then again I never have seen that colour on anything physical.

      well the thing is, the way you described it... you used other colors to describe it, and that shouldn't be possible. You can't descibe yellow like "well it's kind of a light red, with a little green mixed in," you dig?
