A team of scientists claim to have discovered a new colour that no human has ever seen before.

The research follows an experiment in which researchers in the US had laser pulses fired into their eyes.

By stimulating specific cells in the retina, the participants claim to have witnessed a blue-green colour that scientists have called "olo", but some experts have said the existence of a new colour is "open to argument".

The findings, published in the journal Science Advances on Friday, have been described by the study's co-author, Prof Ren Ng from the University of California, as "remarkable".

He and his colleagues believe that the results could potentially further research into colour blindness.

“There is no way to convey that colour in an article or on a monitor,” said Austin Roorda, a vision scientist. “The whole point is that this is not the colour we see, it’s just not. The colour we see is a version of it, but it absolutely pales by comparison with the experience of olo.”

This is actually fascinating because not everyone can see the same colors. Some people have disorders or anomalies that allow them to see other colors, and what is fascinating is that no one else can comprehend it. Try to think of a color other than the ones we know of. See how it's impossible? This is so cool.
