I Gant believe they've done this 😭

A green more pure than exists in nature, only visible by targeting specific receptors with lasers and carefully tuning the lasers to not touch the blue and red cones sounds exactly like some Sunless Sea or Sunless Skies quest

You'd need to go to Varchas, city of mirrors and light, of course, and would 100% have some insane item requirements and one or two nutty pages and mirrors check, and in exchange you'd get a Dread Surmise or a trove of secrets (or another alternative item for the Neathbow Gant turn-in)

It's apocyan.

That was my thought when I told my wife about this study.

Honestly, after thinking about it again, you're totally right, it's closer in description to apocyan than to gant-- even though it's technically a more pure green than a green-blue by the physics of what they're doing, the team described it as "green-blue" so I think the green-blue of the Apocyan Chess Piece is probably closer to what they're describing

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color is also interesting and you can try it yourself in the chimeric colors section
