Fyi on a semi-related topic I learned from a fascinating Youtube video... the color "brown" is a psychological construct[0]. But from an RGB perspective ... there's no such color as "brown"; it's actually just "orange" in a particular context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4aWZRtTwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4aWZRtTwU
[0] pedantic alert: yes "every color" is ultimately a mental construct of the brain but hopefully you know what I mean
- Tokkemon 6y agoAh yes. Hacker News' daily reference to Alec from Technology Connections. I enjoy his orange with context.
- formerly_proven 6y agoThis is based on the simplistic view that hue equals color. Modern perceptual color models like CIECAM02 define "color" through a much larger number of influences.
