Tiresian blue

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

Commentary

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

Compare Numen (nonfiction) and Cryptographic numen.
