I hope that I will not be taking this topic too much off track with what I am about to tell you.
Several years ago I had a dream in which I dreamed in colours I had never seen. I cannot describe these colours. It would be like describing green in a world where blue and yellow did not exist. This dream felt so real. The colours seemed so real. Could I have been dreaming in colours that the subconscious can interpret while the conscious mind cannot? I have tried to find articles on this topic but have never had any luck. Nor have I met other people who have said they dream in other colours. I am a born skeptic so it concerns me just how real this dream seemed. Do you think that this could have been real or do you think that I am a simply daft [ December 18, 2002: Message edited by: Kuu ]</p> |

Ever since I started hand-coding HTML, I can only think of colours in terms of their hex values. Like, "after that punch in the face, his eye was surrounded by a #202020 to #808080 gradient".

devnet, you are a nut.
Kuu, you could be sane. Croc, nice mac, I see tinges of pick on the left disc. If any of you have perception problems you should check out the art of Archamboldo (i think that is the correct spelling). Does white light not have all the colors in it? so at certain speeds there is some diffraction mabye even some dispersion and the white in the light is exposed to itz nature, to itz true compositional characteristics. Mabye it is a cheap prism. What does anyone think it is that binds white light together? your old physics professors? Sammi Na Boodie () |

I recently read about some research in the UK that found two women who may be tetrachromats. Instead of seeing three primary colors of light (red, green, and blue), they see a fourth. Most people have photorecpetors that pick up the three primary colors; the researchers think these women have an extra type that lets them see a color between red and green. The article <a href="http://www.redherring.com/mag/issue86/mag-mutant-86.html" target="_blank">Looking for Madame Tetrachromat</a> goes into more detail. BTW, both of these women are mothers of males who are red-green colorblind. lugotorix |
