https://www.livescience.com/health/neuroscience/scientists-hijacked-the-human-eye-to-get-it-to-see-a-brand-new-color-its-called-olo Scientists basically hijacked the human eye to make people see a new color. If your face just did a thing with how much you desperately want to see the new color, then we're wearing the same hat.

"With this technique, the researchers enabled five people to see a new color, dubbed "olo," which the study participants described as a "blue-green of unprecedented saturation." The researchers, some of whom participated in the experiment themselves, described their technique and the new color in a study published Friday (April 18) in the journal Science Advances."

Colossal Squid is fascinating.

It’s still a baby so it’s only a few feet long … but someday, it won’t be. 🦑

"Olo" is a terrible colour name, I say, as a synesthete who associates "o" with white.
