    It is possible to see something close (how close I don't know) by saturating the S & M cones instead of avoiding them. Wikipedia refers to these as 'chimerical colors':https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color#Chimerical_co...

    The closest approximation to Olo colored paint you can buy is also by the company that makes some of the blackest black paint. I haven't used it personally. https://culturehustle.com/collections/paint/products/yolo-ne...

    Reminds me a bit of a Greg Egan story from Instantiation called Seventh Sight. Kids with artificial eyes hack them to see colors and spectrum not perceptible by humans.

    I wonder why if this is the reason for the icon color of the game Olo. The left half of the icon background looks so similar.https://www.eurogamer.net/olo-review

    This is how people talk about how ancient greeks viewed blue, except we actually can't see this color normally.

    Having read this comment from today detailing variance in the default Windows 95 background (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49329282), I'm imagining Olo would be your wallpaper if "257 colors" could be supported.

    I wonder how long it will take until this is some kind of an amusement park thing or whatever.
