New colour seen for the first time by tricking the eyes

The breakthrough represents a fundamental advancement in human color perception, enabling people to experience colors beyond natural vision limitations. The technology demonstrates unparalleled control over individual retinal cells and opens new possibilities for treating color blindness and studying visual processing in unprecedented ways.
The claimed discovery of a new color is scientifically questionable, as the observed effect is simply an artificially induced saturation of existing color perception rather than an entirely new hue. While technically impressive, the research has limited practical value and does not truly expand the human color spectrum.
