There was no way that color or combination naturally existed. Were these radioactive?"''

-> ''At this point most of us learn the basics of the electromagnetic spectrum somewhere in middle school. You got that little zone of visible light and then a huge amount of radiation our eyes can't perceive, from gamma rays up through radio waves. Since we can only see such a thin slice of the spectrum, our concept of color is very limited compared to the full spectrum of light, but it's kind of what we're stuck with. But if you told [[Creator/HPLovecraft Lovecraft]] about the wide spectrum of light humans can't see, he'd get a funny look on his face, say something like "You mean there exist colors that man has never seen? '''What might they be capable of?'''" (ScareChord), and go write "The Color Out of Space", a story about a color of demonstrably visible light that is nonetheless nowhere on the visible spectrum. This is what happens when you [[WritersCannotDoMath don't have the constitution for math]]."
