The color “brown”

Seriously people… let’s stop and take a gander at brown. When most of you think about it you say “what?… it’s just another color”. But have you ever painted? What colors do you use to get brown… yes yellow and black. I wouldn’t say that’s the only way to get it. Simply mix any amount of colors and you get brown, it seems to me that perhaps you should get a different color when you mix different paints, but always this mucky brown color.

What I’m thinking is that the color brown isn’t in fact a color at all. I think it’s the color our eyes see, when your brain can’t process the actual color. I think that there must be some wondrous colors out there and we just can’t see them. I mean stop and think about it for a minute. How many actual colors are there excluding different tones and shades of the same color? Not enough, there aren’t enough colors in this world… (That we can see) to keep me even remotely satisfied that we are processing everything. There has to be a wider variety of colors out there, I just don’t think that we can see them.
