Unhappy Can you visualise a new colour?
A completely new and different colour, like how yellow is different to blue for exaple
This is SUCH a brain****, and always leaves me perplexed.

I'm expecting someone like Livia to come in and turn it into a serious news debate.

It's physically impossible to imagine or perceive a new colour.

Can you think of a new letter that sound's completely different to any other when pronounced?

This. You could maybe imagine something with a 3-D fluorescence, but it'd be blinding, or almost impossible to look at, but that's not really a color change. And, yes, I have no idea what I'm talkin about.

If you are Locke and you say that "Your mind is a blank slate." then it could be possible. A blind person from birth could visualise a colour in their minds by other descriptions. For example the colour red could be described as "love, hot, fire, evil" and therefore could be visualised.

If you are Hume and with the Missing Shade Of Blue Theory" it could be possible to visualise it but you MUST have had similiar experience to know this. Could you work out the missing colour marked "?" without the blocks next to it?

How can there be a missing shade? if you have dark blue, then you add a tiny bit of white, you get lighter blue...surely?
Why are you trying to blag my head? haha

But the fact is what does it look like? And could you do it in you head without physically forming that colour (ie using paint or pencils). There are of course many critsisms to Hume's theory. I am currently studying Philosophy at college and I know about this.

Reasons like this is why I put it in the serious debate thread
This is certainly no chat.

Blue can be visualized, Cold, sad, sky,...but why is one missing? and why only blue? surely all colours have a spectrum, by the same token there must be a missing red...or a missing yellow?

lol, your missing the point of the Hume's argument. The fact that it's blue is irrelevant.
