US EditionUC Berkeley Researchers Reveal 'Olo,' a Color Beyond Human Vision
- Researchers discovered 'olo,' a unique color, at UC Berkeley and the University of Washington.
- The team used a novel technique named Oz to stimulate individual photoreceptor cells in the retina.
- The Oz system selectively activated M cones, leaving S and L cones unaffected, to produce this effect.
- Professor Ren Ng stated that olo was "more saturated than any colour that you can see in the real world."
- The Oz system could improve tools for studying color blindness and advance technologies for creating colors.

I envied animals who can see light frequencies in the infrared and superheroes with X-ray vision that let them see like a NASA telescope. And today, …
