Why this color doesn't exist?
The human eye is an amazing organ that can distinguish among millions of colors in the visible color spectrum. But there is a color that humans can see, but it doesn't exist!
Yes! This color magenta, does not technically exist. And you can see it. In the visible color spectrum given above, there is no color magenta.
Firstly, let’s catch on out of the way. Technically, magenta doesn’t exist. There’s no wavelength of light that corresponds to that particular color; it’s simply a construct of our brain of a color that is a combination of blue and red. But it gets stranger. I am not just talking that kind of thing, I am talking about actual colors that you simply got to trick your brain into recalibrating itself so as to as certain.
Our eyes have receptors called conical cells for three different colors: red, green, and blue. By measuring the combined responses, secondary colors are often constructed. For example, a combination of red and green makes yellow.
Similarly when our red and blue conical cells respond, we see this technically non-existent color magenta which has no wavelength.
Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.
I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
