Traditionally it has been the common consensus that there are only 3 primary colours and the many combinations thereof.
However recently it has been reported that people have been spotting a new palette of colours based on a 4th primary colour.
"This has of course shifted the entire paradigm of visual science. We won't be hearing the end of it. All I'm saying is that I'll be getting an earfull about it." Remarked Van Gogh
The internet has exploded about what people call "bleen". The actual colour is hard to describe since it is impossible to capture on camera and there is no way of constructing this colour using the other 3 primary colours, or any of the other colours out of the entire ral standardised colour chart. Bleen does however, mix well with any other colour, resulting in many amazing and rich displays of artistic beauty.
"Bleen makes me want to buy things" said one witness.
"Bleen turns me on,...and also want to buy things, I have money to spend on bleen you know." Said another.
"I can't wait to scroll my phone some more until I read about turnips." Said a particularly enthousiastic witness.

I'm order to allow representations of the new colour on computers, it is now RGB🅱️. Hex codes are the same length, but go up to H in order to accommodate the new colour, e.g. #12FFGH.
Graphics experts are currently working on colorsv6, which will allow a 128-bit color space. This will allow for over one undecillion colors, theoretically allowing each object in the known universe to have its own unique color.
Common colors will be represented as follows:
Each color channel gets a full 24 bits of accuracy, except for the alpha channel, which gets 32 bits to better facilitate hiding almost imperceptible text in images to troll AI models.
colorsv6 will also include stateless color autodiscovery and ColorSec for secure coloration.
Several manufacturers of image editing software have already announced that due to color space exhaustion they will exclusively support colorsv6 going forward. However, so-called "dual stack coloration" may be offered, which will map colorsv6 to traditional colors in a way where most people won't notice the difference but which will regularly infuriate actual artists and graphic designers.
