Is It Possible To Find A New Color?
By Shilpa Shah

Like a new expedition for a traveler, it is an artist's quest to discover new colors to add vigor and elevation of wonderment to his paintings. Colors are awe-inspiring, stir the emotions in us, and reflect our personality. Splash few different colors on a piece of paper, you will feel some energy around you. Although there are no images and words on that paper except for some colors, you feel very energetic. This is because colors can add movement, vigor, and zeal in you.

From the time, the first artist experimented with dyes in search of new colors, like an adventurous expedition in search for the Philosopher's stone, and till now, the search has not stopped. Yesterday it was only one man in search of colors. Today, there are thousands of men in search of new colors. Every industry wants to discover a new color. Let that be cosmetic industry, trying to come up with new lipstick shades or color paints, painting industry, visual media, artists, designers, etc.

The only way new shades of colors are formed by finding new tints and shades of every tint and shade itself. Have you ever visited a cosmetic or a paint shop? Ask for a choice of color, they give you a catalogue full of different colors. However, are they all different? You will see fifty different shades of red, all a shade lighter than one another, without much difference. New colors will just add to these shades.

Is there any new color out in the nature that has never been seen before and has never been thought of before? Colors are detected by the brain. The visual brain only sees colors that it can see. There may be other colors in the visual spectrum of the universe, but human eye cannot detect anything extraordinary because of the cortex. There are three stages, how colors are detected.

- The wavelength processing

- The color constancy

- The color of the object

Only after the wavelengths of the colors are registered in the brain and the signals are sent to the optic nerve, human eye can see colors. What about people who suffer from color blindness? This is because the wavelengths of red and green fail to get registered and hence, the person cannot see green and red.

Every action and reaction happens within us. We can only imagine colors through words. To do this also, one needs a wide imaginative mind that can soar high like an eagle, in the open air of the universe. On the other hand, unless you a writer or a poet, who has the flair to evoke emotions through a chain of words.

"The flowers were blooming all around and they had colors that I had never seen before. I was very aware that I had never seen these colors before and I was very excited about it.

I thought I had seen all colors. I was thrilled to death of the beauty that was incredible. In addition to the beautiful colors, I could see a soft light glowing within every living thing. It was not a light that was reflected from the outside from a source, but it was coming from the center of this flower. Just this beautiful, soft light. I think I was seeing the life inside of everything." - Jayne Smith

Did these lines evoke a new feeling of seeing something that you had never seen before? This is the new color of life.
