>When people discuss colours, they don’t talk about how “far along” the spectrum a colour is. They don’t say “my walls are on the high end of the spectrum” or “I look best in colours that are on the low end of the spectrum.” Of course they don't, people all know that color is a complex mix depending on what light is projected on the wall, what material constitutes the wall (glass?), and so what it will throw back, as well as the physiological condition of who look at it (color blind), as well as psychosocial framing (are you the hidden child of Sapir&Whorf and some Inuit engendered during a fifty shades of white party who just ate some psychedelic mushroom?). Or maybe most of them don't, obviously don't read HN, and will look at you strangely if you start to reference any of these things, or at best will ask for some explanations. Just like when you talk about autism spectrum. Merry Christmas to everybody.
