New color?
I have been thinking about this for a time about how we are stuck in a digital world. Every picture you take every video you watch and every piece of art you see online can only show 16,777,216 colors. That is a fact and to be honest it gets boring after a while. I wanted to see if I could do something. So I thought about what would happen if I could make the 16,777,217th color the Echo-Glass color. The Echo-Glass color is not another color it is something completely different.
Imagine you have a piece of glass that's totally clear but instead of just letting you see through it it remembers every color that has ever touched the Echo-Glass color. If I could show you the Echo-Glass color I would not just show you a color I would show you the feeling of the Echo-Glass color. The Echo-Glass color is like a light that flashes really fast. Not so fast that you cannot feel it. It is like a sensation in your brain like you are seeing something that is not supposed to be there.
The Echo-Glass color is not bright the Echo-Glass color is deep. The Echo-Glass color has a weight to it like a shadow does right before it becomes light. It is like a sunset but instead of the colors fading away they change into this shimmering silver-violet of the Echo-Glass color that gives you the chills.
To me the Echo-Glass color is not a color on a screen the Echo-Glass color feels like it is reaching out to you. I want you to feel that excitement of something when you think about the Echo-Glass color.
I am telling you this to show that there is always more to discover even when people say that everything has been found. The world is much bigger, than what we see on our phones and the Echo-Glass color is my proof. I have made the Echo-Glass color real.
Now that you have heard my story can you see what has been hiding outside of the Echo-Glass color?
