Comment on Blue could have been a warmest color
remon@ani.social 4 weeks agoOur perception is limited and our understanding has long outgrown it. White light, by definition is all visible light at equal intensity, thus the sun is NOT white.
Use RGB codes for example. White, by definition is 255, 255, 255.
The Sun would be more like 245, 253, 255 … still looks white to us, but by definition, isn’t.

Can we agree it’s not orange? That is what I was originally pointing out.

From a physical standpoint, sure.
But I’m pretty sure that if you casually ask most people which colour the sun is, you’ll hear yellow/orange much more often than white. So for the context of which colour was, prehistorically, associated with warmth I think yellow/orange are the more relevant answer.
