Non-Physical Color Spectrum

[Under_the_Midnight_Sun]

Hello everybody,
I've been reading about projectors experiencing foreign colors, off our known visible spectrum, in the astral. For this to happen they must be in a somewhat objective environment, so their subconscious mind and physical influences don't affect their perception.

Has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon? If so, where you able to bring back the memory of the color seen?

Do you guys think it's possible to bring back the memory of a non-physical color into the awareness of one's physical mind?
Try to imagine a new primary color -It's impossible! The new color/s seen would be absolutely indescribable to anyone but yourself.

I've experienced nonphysical color, and at the immediate time after the event retained some information about it (greener than green, or with it's own luminosity, etc.) but the memory of the color itself faded right away.
In my case it was not an RTZ projection, this was very abstract possibly mental-plane projection.

Yes, I often dream in colour, but there are times, especially in Lucid dreams, where the colours are still red, blue and yellow and all the combinations of these primaries, except they are, what I would call, heightened colour, indescribable, but still subjectively remembered.

On a fun note, they discovered a new color not too long ago. Its a cross between green and red.  It can be witnesses by staring into the center of a adjacent green and red block and/or  focusing back and forth really quick. Too lazy to do a Google search for you but go check it out. When you see it you will be like whoa, yeah that's new, but the novelty wears off pretty quick. 

Well on the note of color, to answer this inquiry, I think we have to break apart what color is to a consciousness. The first opinion that pops into my mind is that color is simply an interpretation of wave length that the mind has given a placeholder. We all know the frequency of visible light extends beyond violet and before purple. As a piano player, I see the light pattern repeating itself as it extends above and below, like the octaves on a piano. Think of a double or triple rainbow. Why? Because our mind understands sequence very well. And evolution has done a wonderful job and creating a natural system to promote survival.

So, people, like Bach(I think, it was some famous composer) has given accounts that they see colors when playing in different keys. To any music savvy individual this makes perfect sense. Our mind has accepted the color of the spectrum as a closed loop, think color wheel. I do not think, even if one experiences a new color on the astral, they will be able to recollect it, let alone describe it. Try describing the color blue. You can't. You can only define it mathematically. I do beleive however, in the astral, you can feel color, just as bach can attribute color to key. This may seem like a new color, but it is simply another perception of wave pattern. Everything is waves and color is the minds attempt to decode that phenomenon.

Colours, like everything else, are completely subjective to the consciousness observing them.

No, but I've experienced saturated colors that aren't in the physical (think technicolor "Wizard of Oz" or "What Dreams May Come"). Also balls of bluish white light where you can see the entire color spectrum within them (like a refracting diamond).

They're still subjective.
Ask a colour blind individual what they see and they'll disagree with you, BUT only due to their particular perspective.

Colours are nothing more than our interpretation of a particular wavelength of the light spectrum.  It's a physical phenomenon.

I could just as easily see your "balls of bluish white light" as green, or plaid or any other subjective interpretation I can come up with.

Interesting replies,
Many of you speak of another "dimension" of the color as either luminosity or vibrancy. I've experienced this too.. however to me it's as if a golden tint permeates every object. Just as Xanth said- it's subjective.

Contenteo- It must be amazing living with music-color synesthesia. I myself have a low form synesthesia of relating numbers and letters with their appropriate colors.

Most of us not seeing any absolutely *new* primary colors raises the question about how much of our environment, in the OBE, is actually generated from the subconscious mind. We could perceive our surroundings as a meadow whilst an entity next to us perceives themselves in a black hole. . .

On the guitar, in the first position, the chord D minor is always the colour brown.
I have the same with chess moves, certain positions of the pieces give off a colour to my imagination.
I have worked as an artist, for many years, mixing colour combinations. So to me its all part of creativity. And yes Bach is a famous composer, he is my favourite.
Cheers djed

I don't have color synesthesia. I mentioned the phenomenon, But I do relate different keys to emotion when I am composing.

I understand how brains make connections. I like the chess move color case, that is pretty cool.

Lol, Xanth, I gotta take a lessen from you, you pretty said my entire post in one sentence.

Cheers all,

Sounds like synesthesia combined with perfect pitch.

Interestingly, in the old days, before equal temperament was adopted as standard tuning, each of the 12 possible major and 12 minor keys had its own unique characteristic, caused by the quirks of Pythagorean tuning. People described say, the key of A-major as sounding somewhat different from G-major.

So even people without perfect pitch could perceive a particular key as having a subjective, unique quality. Whether this is described as a "color" or feeling or whatever, depends on the individual.
