waters not blue lmao
water has no color
also everything that has color is EVERY OTHER COLOR THAN THE COLOR SHOWN. Objects reflect the color that you see.
Describe Color without using the "color" unsolvable question?!? or am i just dumb

yup and white is technically all colors, and black is none
Does that make Black, the "Uniquest" one of all?
For it is composed of no colors..."whatsoever?!"

idk it’s just that in its utmost essence black is the absence of color (it absorbs all light reflecting none back out)

You are not supposed to use any word with the definition being used to describe it
can someone decipher this sentence because i cant understand (im sped) (im not)
You cannot use the word you are defining in the definition used to describe the word.

Vsauce has a very thought-provoking video on this very topic.

Perhaps you could do it via:
a) using a synonym (scarlet for red etc)
b) using notation (for example RGB notation etc)
c) giving the wavelength
Using a synonym wouldn't work. Scarlet as far as i know is also its own color (English isn't my native language)
Ok well scarlet and regular red - almost the same, my bad

Red is Crimson. Roll Tide!
This is a hard one. Purple is mellow, blue is soft, yellow is sunny(?), red is angry (as someone else said). Do we use emotions as substitutes? The guy above uses sound. I remember kids in High School putting on blindfolds and earmuffs all day to see what it was like to have sensory deprivation. Interesting experiment. I always wanted to design a wand with the Lego Robotics that would tell you what was around you without being able to see. The Lego system could easily translate colors into sounds.

no, what you see is "black" and if we had night vision, it can be a different "cOuLor"

technically you can't feel (or me) colors so I'm not so sure.

Nothing about color sensing, but it could easily be programmed into the seeing eye robot.
The question on the table is how to describe color without using another object of that color as the descriptor. They've already said color is just light waves of different wavelengths. How do we describe infrared and ultraviolet? How would an insect which sees in the ultraviolet or infrared describe color?
You got me.
Say in this case blue, your job is basically to describe the color (in this case) BLUE. You have to describe it without (ex.) the sky is blue.
