1. A team of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, has developed a technology that allows the human eye to perceive an entirely new color – an unusually saturated blue-green shade called “Olo.” The scientists used the Oz laser system to selectively stimulate only the M-cones, allowing subjects to see a color of unprecedented saturation. The participants of the experiments unanimously rated the saturation of "Olo" with the maximum score - 4 out of 4, while the almost monochromatic colors of similar shades received a rating of only 2,9. This discovery caused a lively debate in the scientific community about whether it can really be classified as a new color.
