Do. Were talking modern day. And some have a word for black but some others consider black part of the blue/grue spectrum. I dont know if anyone has a word for pitch black specifically. Technically not even English has a word for pitch black since it takes two words for us to describe it. --- Que sera, sera. Whatever happens, happens. ...and he was never heard from again. ...

Didnt people look at the sky and not see blue I specified what I meant and provided a link. They saw the sky, it just looked more grey-like. It's because trichromia wasn't prevalent (or whatever rod/cone is responsible for "blue") Even now there are people developing tetrachromia?

Were they blind?it seems like they didn't have as concrete a concept as we have of "color" or "hue" (possibly conflating the material/substrate with color, so their color words were more similar in meaning to words like "metallic" or "fluidic"), and that they didn't have a mental concept of what "blue" was, and so never really noticed that there was such a thing as blue. or it's also possible that they couldn't even see blue at all. https://serendipstudio.org/exchange/ananda-triulzi/ancient-greek-color-vision --- ...

In 1879 three hillbillies in the Ozark Mountains followed their hound dog into a cave where they found the walls covered with a strange silvery ore. Their torches suddenly went out and they barely managed to get out of the cave before collapsing. One of the men soon developed burns all over his body.
We now know the cave was filled with thorium and radium, which decays into radon gas. The radon had displaced most of the oxygen in the cave, snuffing out the torches and nearly asphyxiating the men. Radon decays into radioactive polonium, which rapidly decays into radioactive forms of lead, bismuth, and thallium before becoming non-radioactive lead. The radon gas had gotten into the man's clothing, decayed into polonium, a solid, which stuck to his clothes then continued to irradiate him causing radiation burns. Radioactivity wasn't discovered until 1896. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tritanopia (or lack of blue cones):I don't think that's right exactly. here's a version with no blue, and with yellow reduced a bit. (I think you might have actually turned green off in your picture instead of blue.) (well no, without green it becomes ridiculously purple/pink. I guess you turned almost all color completely off (very close to B&W), leaving only a slight amount of red and slight amount of green.) --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
