SCIENTISTS SAY THEY FOUND A NEW COLOR HUMANS HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Researchers have figured out a way to artificially expand the natural human color gamut. Humans usually have three different types of cone cells that combine their signals to form the normal color spectrum. The 'green' cones' function overlaps completely with the 'red' and 'blue' cones, meaning there's no wavelength of light that stimulates only the 'green' cones under natural conditions. Shooting a green laser at only the 'green' cones creates a color that the brain is unfamiliar with - the researchers have named the new color 'olo'.
