Comment on The ‘Profound’ Experience of Seeing a New Color

The whole point was that there is physical combination of wavelengths that induces pink sensation but there is none for this new olo, this is why i think it is not a property of light but purely a human sensation.

Yeah, that’s the entire point I’m making. In the same way magenta is not a single wavelength but a side effect of our perception, olo is an effect of stimulating individual types of cone cells instead of the eye as a whole.
