UC Berkeley Researchers Reveal 'Olo,' a Color Beyond Human Vision

  • UC Berkeley and other researchers revealed a new color called olo on April 18, 2025, seen by five test subjects using the Oz Vision System.
  • They developed Oz to selectively stimulate individual M cone cells in the retina, enabling perception beyond standard human color vision limitations.
  • Participants described olo as an intensely saturated blue-green hue unlike any natural color, verified through color-matching tests and multiple validation steps.
  • Ren Ng said the technique could allow people with color blindness to perceive new hues, while experts called the research an impressive technical achievement.
  • The researchers suggest Oz might help study vision more precisely and eventually enable color-blind individuals to experience a fuller color spectrum.
