[tlhIngan Hol] About colors

[Tim Stoffel]

Keep in mind there is additive (light) and subtractive (surfaces) color
mixing. They have different primaries, and different color mixing
results. And of course, color perception depends on the visual system
of Klingons, or whomever it is, and color cannot be accurately
described except by reference to a colored object.

Thank you all for your answers.
I understand the logic now... but I have difficulty to agree with it.

So my problem is that brown is seen as if it were a color on the
spectrum...
But I would approximate a brown by desaturating an orange, and
darkening it.

Or, if you want, mix red and green, and you get some kind of brown.

It looks like Klingon vision has a different physiology. Evidently
they have a more accurate
representation of light on the red part of the spectrum. Maybe they
can see infrared (that we
call brown) too.
