Newly discovered 4th primary color, "Squant".

Does this make as little sense to you guys as it does to me? It's apparently a new 4th primary color that was discovered a while back, and they named it "squant".

I think it's BS, mainly because there's no room on the tested and true electromagnetic spectrum for it to be placed.

Not only that, but people have issues with installing the plugin (even though you still need to purchase a squant capable monitor, WHAT A LAUGH!), and they received the error message "file not found: A Squant-Colored Folder". Does this not sound like a giant joke, to you?

I don't think there could be a 4th primary color, otherwise we'd have people walking around since the day we could speak, asking "what is this 4th color, and why does it not have a name?".

I've also searched around, and have found absolutely nothing reputable that mentions it, no peer review, no real scientific journals, nothing. Only the original site, and a link or two, plus a digg.

It scares me you had to ask.

You might want to check your sarcasm plugin....I think it might be broken

Try the plugin?

I ain't installing it until I get confirmation from someone else that it isn't a virus or spyware.

I scanned it with Avast! and tried to install it, and nothing points to it being a virus.

Hey, thats MY Bridge. But I do have some Perfect Water to sell to you. it uses a 208353 filtering process to give you the scientific "Balanced" feeling.

Anat/Phys says this is BS. We can create the visible light spectrum with RGB, so squant would fit where? Before the visible light spectrum or after it. And if nobody can see it, why implement it?

Yeah, its BS (of course), thats not how colors work. Although it should be pointed out that the primary colors are "derived" from human anatomy, not the electromagnetic spectrum. The EM spectrum is like a line, its the fact that the eye has 3 types of receptors which allows it to appear as though you can make any color from the 3 primary colors, its a construct of human anatomy, not mathematical or based on physics.

It's a joke.

The web site is about music and radio shows.

I'm quite certain my RGB monitors have served me accurate images for years.

Thank you for taking the time to give us after only 14 years the same information that was posted in reply #8 back in 2008.

It's a joke folks. Crossly Bendix is a fictional character created by Negativland, a program that aired on KPFA FM. geeze. get a sense of humor fcs!

THANK YOU for pointing that out to the folks without a sense of humor.
HOWEVER, since 2008 we've found that there are indeed people with 4 color receptors. Some animals are colorblind, and some see more colors than humans.
