gollark: Cool idea.
gollark: Ah yes, Kolmogorov complexity.
gollark: Also, human brains have weird color processing quirks because instead of answering the question "what mixture of light is entering this part of the visual field" they're solving the harder but more useful one of what color an object is and what light sources are present and that sort of thing.
gollark: The color of the thing as seen by a camera (or your eyes) depends on lighting conditions and what's near it and configuration and such.
gollark: Yes. The "RGB value" of a surface doesn't really... exist, see.
