Yesterday I found this Kuromi backpack with a lunch box type thing and some other stuff with it.

I love Kuromi, I love purple and black so I got it to carry my laptop, Switch 2, Ally X and craft stuff when we go on trips.

I was carrying it through Khols and this lady said “cute backpack” or something like that and I said “thanks!”.

She probably thought she was making a friendly joke at the 48 year old white bearded guy carrying it and she probably didn’t realize my comment wasn’t sarcasm but a factual statement.

Characters and colors are made up- just like clothing- and f those who want to place an age or sex on them.

We see purple when the eye’s long-wavelength (red) and short-wavelength (blue) cones are stimulated simultaneously. Since the red and blue wavelengths sit at opposite ends of the visible spectrum, the brain bends the linear spectrum into a circle and “invents” purple to bridge the gap and then someone came up with the words purple to represent that color.
