    Okay as a colourblind person what the fuck is “blurple”!? Isn’t purple with blue added just a different shade of purple!? Or indigo (whatever the fuck that is)? Anything beyond red orange yellow green blue purple (fuck indigo/violet) is made up

      all color categories are made up

      and the only ones whose corresponding wavelength ranges are directly detected by our eyes are ~red, ~green, and ~blue

      take it from someone who this year failed a color vision test so spectacularly that the doctor asked him ‘so do you just see in black and white?’: let people like things

      even fake as fuck shades of color that we KNOW THEY’RE JUST MAKING UP to mess with us

      wait what
