hmm... most kinsi rorotan speakers have color receptors that are
sensitive to red, yellow, blue, and purple... i'm not sure what the word
for the secondary color made by combining blue and red is, but i've had
dreams where i could differentiate between red+blue and purple...
also, sometimes i'll be just walking along and all of a sudden i see
everything as completely red and completely blue at the same time (it's
really weird and hard to explain), but not purple, and i can
differentiate between things that are different colors (even though both
are red and blue at the same time)...
