The one that came out this week: Friends Forever #31.
Hmm. Accepted i guess.
With how our brain interprets it, we get a rainbow from three colors. But it’s possible for a different brain to interpret things differently.
So, wait… It’s Octarine then? And we just perceive it as a rainbow of color because our brains are not equipped to perceive that color?
well that’s a horribly human-centric way of viewing reality

I know about birds and insects. No, I’m saying that correlation between receptors and visual colors isn’t as straightforward as Light makes it sound. Adding fourth receptor in-between blue receptor and red receptor will not make “eight color”.
P.S. Also, all non-spectral colors (such as magenta) don’t actually exist, it’s just a way our brain interprets seeing several lights with different wavelengths simultaneously.

not quite accurate. Some animals have many more receptors than we do, such as receptors for UV light or infrared. Some, like mantis shrimp, can ever see polarized light! There are most certainly different colors out there that we can’t see.
Nope, another receptor do not make another ‘color’, it just makes distinguish it better. Some girls have mutations with fourth receptor, but it doesn’t make them ‘see’ another color altogether.
That works. My “eighth color” thing was mostly a Discworld joke, but the rest of it is plausible headcanon.
Fourth color, actually?
Human eyes have three receptors: red, green, and blue that interpret light at the long, middle, and short ends, respectively, of the visible range of light as their respective colors.
It may actually be possible for ponies to have another color receptor, and when their brain sees that color above a certain threshold, their brain interprets it as “rainbow”.
Oh my gosh, thanks so much for this idea! This is awesome! Finally a logical explanation for this!
Okay, it was from the comic book.
Heh. Actually, I never saw Bleach. It’s from the second season of Digimon.
(Dunno how I got logged out before posting that other comment, I’d just logged in…)
That made me think of Bleach for some reason
…Wait, one strand has all the colors?
