Shades Of Discovery

Just when you thought there was nothing more left in the world to be discovered (for have we ever spared any corner of this planet?), along comes the news of another discovery.

A new colour named Olo. The colour is a saturated blue-green, much like peacock blue or teal.

So, where and how did this colour pop up suddenly? How did it manage to escape our scrutiny so far? Why didn't we ever see it until now? The answer to this is perhaps the simple reason that it lies beyond our sight. So far, only five humans have ever seen the colour.

Following an experiment in which researchers stimulated individual cells in their retinas by firing laser pulses into their eyes, the laser enabled them to push their perceptions beyond the normal limits. Thus, the hitherto reclusive Olo presented itself in all its splendour.
