true, im definately kinda interested in this. i never pay any particular attention to the colors i see when im tripping unless the color is the most prominent part of the hallucination... but now after reading this, ill pay more attention to colors in my future tripping.
if you can figure out how to word your opinion/theories, i would love to hear it

what one poster said about seeing shapes that have more than three dimensions... that's how i would describe the colors that don't seem to exist outside of the trip. i could say it's a blueish greenish color that seems to be made out of nothing but light, yet is shiny like metal, is accompanied by an additional rainbow of colors, and is slithering through the air like a snake, and evoking an intelligence like some kind of being. but that makes just as much sense as just saying "extradimensional blue green". the "colors" exist in this dimension, but when you can see (or hear?) the added dimensions, they appear quite different.

EvolveShrooms said: I've heard stories about people claiming to see colours that they've never seen before while tripping. Can anyone attest to this? Do you think they are seeing colours outside a human's natural visual spectrum of is it just because they're tripping balls?
Mostly what've seen looks more like some type of energy but with the undefinable aspect as to its color. There have also been objects with clearly a lot more then 3 dimensions.
I usually see the energy flowing through things on cid. Everything just sort of pulses with electricity.

the thing about colors is that humans can only perceive such a narrow band of wavelengths of light. There are wavelengths far outside the perceivable light color spectrum in the form of xrays, uv rays, radio waves etc etc etc. Look up light on wikipedia and see if it says anything about the color spectrum and youll see what i mean. If acid or shrooms or whatever can expand that spectrum of perceivable wavelengths, it would make sense

dogs can in fact see colour. however their visible spectrum is limited as they have a green-red spectral deficiency.

also, from an evolutionary stand point, it would seem counter intuitive to have different members of the same species to have greatly differing sensory perception. Everything from mating to finding food is built into our DNA, and the recognition of common colors and sounds were an absolute necessity for survival in humanities early stages.
If an animal sees a bright red and yellow plant, its instincts will tell it be very cautious. If this creature saw the plant as blue and green, chances are it will find it less threatening, even it is poisonous. Members of the same species share common sensory perception as a tool for survival.

Does anyone have a very colourful three-dimensional "plaid" that fills space-time when they are tripping? Mine is a very cool plaid. I've grown to look forward to it as a signal of good things to come after I dose.

i assume your talking about closed eye visuals? i see more rotating fractals like a kaleidoscope that then turns into kind of cartoony visions. sometimes i see very real visions of disturbing images when i close my eyes like monsters and such (picture the music video for kids by mgmt). visions that would freak some people out but i dont mind them really... your visions when you trip are unique to yourself, some people may see similar visions, but its all personal, most people have similar visions each time they trip, i always get the smiley face vision at some point in the trip... and when i laugh, the smiley face laughs, making me laugh harder and as i laugh harder the smiley face laughs harder, until the vision begines to rotate out of control and become another vision or i open my eyes cause im laughing too hard. its really cool :p

The drugs can't change the actual range of colours you perceive, that's purely physiological and based on your eyesight (as was said before, some species have wider ranges of colour than us, like being able to see UV or a bit of infrared).
It can definitely make you perceive or alter sensations that you do not in the sober state, ranging from synesthesia to even seeing 'new' colours- you aren't truly seeing a new colour, you're just seeing them in a new way.

In the definition of "a color that doesn't exist" as being a color you now see that you know that object isn't. On 2C-E I had to constantly ask if it was still daylight when I would be outside and while inside it looked dark but the lights were on everytime I asked. The colors were so great and so varied my vision(eyes open) became a 3D movie/holograph and surfaces had various patterns(Persian rug, fractals) not related to their texture and it was almost as if the fabric of matter was now viewable to me. If I would put on some music then BAM the Synesthesia would begin and that I won't even begin to explain.
As for the definition being seeing a color beyond our normal spectrum. I don't really believe, although I have heard color and felt color as an emotion(more than 'colors influence emotion') so I don't know. Psychs are crazy things
