California Scientists Discover New Color

April 24, 2025

California scientists have discovered a completely new color that is practically impossible to see. The shade is called 'olo': it resembles blue-green and becomes distinguishable only if specific cells of the eye's retina are stimulated with a laser. It is impossible to display it through a screen, and there are currently no other ways to see it. The discovery will help better understand the causes of color blindness and eye diseases.
