> It looks like black that glows blue

I could maybe buy that as a description, but...

> I think it is fairly described as a new color—I would be quite unsettled if I encountered it in real life.

I don't feel this follows. There are a lot of things that would unsettle me if I saw them, like if someone gave off a visible aura. Heck, I even found a "black flame" a bit unsettling, and I saw a literal video of it on YouTube (look it up if you don't know what I'm referring to). I'd feel similarly if I saw a transparent human too. The feeling you get - or the fact that you haven't seen something visually similar before - doesn't really imply it's a new color, I think!




I get more of a black in the middle and blue glow around the edges. Also not sure it qualifies as a new color. To me, it's more like an interesting illusion that combines black and blue.


Each person's qualia can be different from the next. It's definitely a new color, regardless, in that you won't encounter it in nature.
