Is it possible that there is a color our human eye can't see? @MooingDuck Well maybe because of how addition and scalar multiplication work in a Hilbert space? Who knows! But yes, it is exactly how things work. The CIE-1931 standard defines three x/y/z base colour matching functions and the projection of a combination of lightwaves onto this base uniquely defines the chromatic response. You can read more about CIE-RGB and CIE-XYZ here. |

Is it possible that there is a color our human eye can't see? The gamut of visible colours for trichromats is not a convex triangle. Our TV screens fail to display about half the colours visible by humans. The reason three colours are sufficient is because our brain accepts the information loss. Also your assumption that two colours would be enough for dichromats is rather oversimplifying. |

Is it possible that there is a color our human eye can't see? And some colours do not even have a pure wavelength, eg. magenta. |

How to turn water opaque by pouring the smallest quantity of matter into it? I am not a native speaker and I didn't think “dye” was conveying a specific meaning. Would “light absorbent” be a better term? |
