What do you think?
The color of nothingness
I sometimes imagine what the color of a void looks like. I'm not talking about black or darkness, I'm talking about the color of a space that has nothing. I can picture it perfectly in my mind. I sometimes think about it as the opposite of the color of light.

The color itself is indescribable in English, but it looks something like a simultaneous black and purple color with a strange irridescence to it. But it's not black or purple. I can't explain it.

I think it's logical to assume there would be no colour to nothingness.
I think about something similar to that:

What do you see if you have no eyes?

You would think just blackness, but how can you see the blackness if you have no eyes... When I'm 80 I'm going to have my eyes removed so I can finally know just before I die...
you think WAY TOO MUCH!!!
I used to do that. My mind would wind back the universe and time removing everything more and more the planets the stars the people the anomalies. Wind all the way back until I was on the brink of seeing the void of nothingness and then bang! I'd snap out of it. I don't think its possible to witness nothingness.
Ok, here's a lesson in colors for you.

All colors put together equal black.

The absence of color is white.

So when you speak of no color, you speak of white not black or blackish-purple.
uhhh star girl I think you got that the wrong way round. All colours equal white. An absence of light is black.
Whoops!


Well, either way, I had it closer than the poster of the question did!

LOL!

(additive: when color lights are combined they will create white; the absence of colors creates black
subtractive: when all pigment colors are added together they will create black; the absence of pigment colors creates white)

I got them mixed up!
I almost understand where you're coming from. At random points of the day I see black-purplish discs getting sucked in to a tiny hole.
duh... the color of nothing is green
O all of you guys are high!
Yeah I've had thoughts like that one. It's a good thought to have. Great mental exercise. I like to try to imagine a colour that has never been seen before. What would happen to my brain if I saw a colour that previously didn't exist. Like not one from the spectrum of normal colours, but somewhere outside that. Would it blow my mind apart?

Many commenters seem to have missed that this is actually a philosophical, metaphysical type of question. And I'm not claiming that everyone has to be interested in such questions, but to try and answer a rhetorical question with highschool science is not entirely the point.
We have a mushroom user here fellas.

hahaha I always wondered that too. Being blind must be like trying to see with your elbow... you just can't... but I can't imagine not seeing ANYTHING.
Nothingness...
First of all, vision is the way we perceive light - the absence of light is perceived as black. Since nothingness by definition is the absence of everything you would see black.

Totally unscientific question.
@: MOusque

Lol, I try and think about new colours too. What could a new colour be, outside the spectrum. It's amazing, what we can invent with our mind and never be able to make new colours. Weird, huh?
I know this defies everything everyone above has said, but I imagine nothingless being either black or (my own preference) white, clouded with white grey. Don't ask me why, I have NO idea at all...
@: M0usque
you shall go MAD like me ME!!!

That is quite a philosophical question.

...but a bit stupid, nonetheless.

The color of nothingness isn't purple black. Where do you get THAT from?

I personally think the color of nothingness ISN'T a color at all. It must be a reflection, I believe. I don't know why I just think it's a reflection of...light, possibly? Or dark?
...when you close your eyes you block out light, but you can still SEE your eyelids, which is really not much to see, but you're still seeing SOMETHING, which is different from having NO eyes at all or lacking the capibility of sight altogether...

Something else that is fun...
You know how the whole idea of Yin and Yang is that everything has somekind of opposite (fire/water, good/evil, man/woman)
Well... I tryed to imagen what I guess would be a "Negative Duck".
