- Get you and your alternative expression of human development, prosperity, and productivity out of here. This is a science channel!!
  
  Just for that I'm going to team up with the historians and say you fell off a horse selling bad copper.
How else would you cosplay as neopolitan ice cream?
What about hyperbolic orange? Stygian blue? Self-luminous red?
- Put the colors away, man, they're callin' the cops
Look, if you don't include florescent black, why even bother?
Black and white I geht. But Brown an magenta?
- They are combination of colors rather than a specific wavelength. (Similar to white, which is combination of all of them)
  
  Any of the colors can theoretically be created using a combination of multiple colors (see RGB)
  
  Brown is actually dark orange. It just became its own thing when we gave it a distinct name. So people who know more color names really can see more colors.
  
  This is wrong
  
  The "combination" is just a lower value, here orange-red.
  
  Colors we can see are a combination of value, chroma (called saturation when it's in a computer) and hue.
  
  I can explain more if someone is interested.
- Do you see them in the rainbow? That's because they're lies!
