but to get purple you combine red and blue, and purple is way the fuck at the opposite end of the spectrum from red.

the fuck?

would almost make sense if it were cyclical, but its not -- higher frequencies than purple do not look red. (at least not to humans)

i suppose color itself is a qualia, though, and not actually a property of matter itself.

It is very trippy, the thought of light reflection producing certain colors, and colors creating emotions. No light no color no emotion
