Why cant they just say "light blue"

(I helped save b3ta! turb0t, Sun 14 Jun 2009, 21:47, archived)
In Russian
light blue/cyan and dark blue are considered to be two different colours. Like red and pink.

i believe it is the same in Polish
Niebeski (sp) is the word for royal blue, but its another word for light blue.
Or so the Mrs tells me.

Trick question.
"The notion of primary colours just describes the way that you can arbitrarily choose a set of three colours to produce any other: there is no definitive set of primary colours."

doesn't even have to be three,
look up tetrachromacy.

also, oddly, there's no way to make violet using red, green and blue, you can only closely approximate it. apparently.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 14 Jun 2009, 21:50, archived)
Which is strange
as it's detected by a balance of red and blue sensors in your eyes.

I've heard this before though. I don't understand it.
(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Sun 14 Jun 2009, 21:52, archived)
no,
me neither.
it must be something to do with the sensors detecting a frequency band, rather than a single wavelength. maybe the bandwidth is so variable that violet looks different to everyone, so there's no single combination of red and blue that looks right to more than a small number of people.

It's a relative lighting thing, it seems.
(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Sun 14 Jun 2009, 21:54, archived)
No, wait, it's OK
it's just that purple doesn't exist.
(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Sun 14 Jun 2009, 21:56, archived)
purple exists,
just like white exists, it's just not a single wavelength on the spectrum.
Actually no colour you ever see in nature is just a single wavelength.

Are you telling me these streetlights didn't sprout here?

(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Sun 14 Jun 2009, 22:02, archived)
they have a sharp wavelength peak,
but they'll have a continuous spectrum superimposed on that as well. I think.
Any light coming from them will no doubt have been affected by other things by the time it hits your retina anyway.

i'd love to get my hands on some streetlamp beans
imagine the fun you could have planting them in neighbours' gardens, or sneaking them into pot plants belonging to people you didn't like

or eating them! what'd that be like?

i'd swap my only cow for three of those beans
