Do you know that rainbow is no more a symbol of seven colors ? Scientists have found a hidden eighth color to the rainbow . This amazing discovery in the spectrum of light is done by physicists at Randall Monroe University in West Virginia who were investigating the properties of ‘slow light’; packets of photons that are fired through a cloud of ultracold sodium atoms, colliding with the light and slowing it to roughly 17mph.
Experts say the colour, which has yet to be named, can be thought of as the first addition to the traditional spectrum since Isaac Newton first successfully split white light using a triangular prism in 1671.
Too much of scientific knowledge right :p But you just can't ignore the science behind the invention . Anyway this new color is going to have the shade which contrasts in between blue and green ie. similar to 'grue' and 'bleen' ( linguistic term to tell the difficulty some languages have in differentiating blue and green ).
Few words : "If we haven’t seen this color before, how will other people see things we paint it with?" said Dr Padyolis.
