I do too there are so many colors out there that are known thanks to Crayola but also newer ones that just came to be known. If you google Chimerical colors you will see what I am talking about. Chimerical colors are imaginary colors that do not exist in the physical light spectrum but can be perceived by the human eye through optical fatigue. They are a subset of impossible colors, created when cone cells in the retina become fatigued from staring at a strong color, causing the brain to perceive an afterimage that appears outside normal visual limits. There are three primary types of chimerical colors, each demonstrated by staring at a specific color and then viewing a different background: Self-luminous colors: These appear to glow or be brighter than white, even though they emit no light. For example, staring at green and then looking at white can produce self-luminous red. Stygian colors: These are impossibly dark and saturated, appearing darker than black.

Staring at bright yellow and then looking at black can produce stygian blue. Hyperbolic colors: These are supersaturated, appearing more intense than any physically possible color. Staring at cyan and then looking at orange can produce hyperbolic orange. These phenomena provide evidence for the opponent process theory of color vision, which suggests that the brain processes color in antagonistic pairs (red vs. green, blue vs. yellow). While some researchers dispute the existence of "forbidden" colors like reddish-green, chimerical colors are well-documented through these fatigue-based demonstrations.

You are so welcome that came from youtube channel A Brush with Bekah she really knows a lot about different colors and does some really cool videos to where you can see maybe what she is talking about. Just look her up on youtube and you will see what I am talking about. She has you stare at a black dot for about a minute to be able to see a color she is talking about. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I wasn't able to see the red one she was trying to show. All I saw was a really white square. Ai however I think captured it for me to see it.
