Tiresian blue

Blue Protocol version of the "Tiresian blue" article.

Tiresian blue is a hue of the color blue which is visible only during prophecy and fortune-telling events.

Description

One cannot normally perceive Tiresian blue, because it is only perceivable while genuine prophecy or fortune-telling is actually in progress.

Compare Numen and Cryptographic numen.

Commentary

Context: "Whuuuuuut?"

Yes. That is what I said at first.

Since then I have imagined other impossible colors. It takes a little getting used to, but it can be done.

Once you have a theory of impossible colors, theories about real colors become much easier.
