The volunteer group shot the laser pulses in their eyes, allowing them to perceive a new blue-green color that has never witnessed humans before.
A group of scientists claims to have discovered a new color that humans have never seen before.
The color, which has since been called ‘Olo’, appeared during A daring experiment made by university scientists of California. The laser pulses shot in the eyes of the volunteers, leading to a type of cone on the retina. The participants caused a striking blue shadow that does not appear in the wild.
Color cannot be seen without special laboratory teams, and co -author Professor Ren ng described the research, published in The Journal Science Advances, as “remarkable”.

Professor NG was one of the five participants in the study. There were four male volunteers and a female. Everything had Normal color vision. Professor Ren NG told the Today program of the BBC Radio 4 that Olo is “more saturated than any color you can see in the real world”.
The original study describes Olo as an “unprecedented blue of saturation green”. The participants described the color similar to a very bright tea. But try as we want, it is impossible to see the exact color unless the concrete of the eyes is isolated.
Our retinas contain three types of cone cells, which are photoreceptors that detect the wavelengths of light. The cones collect relatively short wavelengths, which we see blue. M Conts react to medium wavelengths, which we see as green. And the cones are triggered by long wavelengths, which we see red.
These red, green and blue signals travel to the brain, combining them in the full color vision we experience. The light that activates the cones will also activate the cones or cones, which makes it impossible to isolate the cones of everyday life.
If you are desperate to see OLO for yourself, you may be able to do it in the future. Researchers are working to create An experience of virtual reality This would allow more people to see the new color.
The teacher admitted that Olo is “certainly very difficult to see”, but he says that this experiment shows that the brain can be able to process colors far beyond what we see in everyday life.
