If this is another attempt to get me to stare into a laser, I'm going to say "Fool me once."

The article is paywalled, but from the part I could read, it sounds like they're just making hyperbolic colors, which is a pretty well known phenomenon which you can experience at home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color#Chimerical_colors
They've done it using a new technique which is cool, but seeing super saturated hyperbolic colors is not a new thing.

It's bright super-saturated teal. So now we know teal is "true" green.
-
This sounds cool to me. I’d love to see it.

Better be named "Octarine"

I will never have an original thought in my life.
Anyway, I'm on book 18 or so, 3rd pass, still finding jokes and references I missed. Calling it now, Discworld is the best fiction I've read in 40+ years.

Similarly, I think I’ve read somewhere that pink isn’t in the color spectrum. Or was it magenta?
-
A lot of colors, like those, as well as gold, aren't on the spectrum of visible light either.
-
Gold is – it's an orangeish yellow. I think what you're meaning is that when people say "gold", they usually are referring to the material properties of the metal as well. But the actual color does have a spectral hue. Magenta on the other hand, (including shades of pink that fall under magenta) is not a spectral color, and is just how our brain interprets the combination of signals from our red and blue cones.
-
I’ve always wondered why no one ever seems to mention that there’s no such thing as brown light.
-
-
Pink is a shade of red, so pink itself is not a real color.
