Not all colors are just a single frequency. Like, magenta can only exist as a sum of red and blue light. So colors are also patterns of wiggling

I can't tell you how pleasing it is to see this take instead of the usual "magenta isn't real" bit

Seriously. I'm tired of those goons parroting the usual magenda.

If magenta isn't real, then white isn't real either lmao

No color is 'real'. Only frequencies are real. But colors are real in our minds, just as sound is.

None of the human senses are real. It's all just our brains trying to make sense of the limited information we can get
