If your Switch is facing some minor issue then this can be solved by restarting the console will solve it. This has solved for more people than you think. You're thinking about the math wrong... blue + blue + red isn't the same as blue + red, and purple shows this off. The issue is in ratios, rather than whatever you're doing. 2 parts blue to 1 part red is not the same as 1 part blue to 1 part red. Most colors cannot be described with a single wavelength of light because they include a mixture of white light, and further, how "dark" a color is, like midnight blue, is dependent on the density of photons per area that hits your eye. If you have more or less "blue" photons, the color you perceive changes, so even for a single wavelength, there are variations of the color.

thejuice027 Except nothing about "describing them with a wavelength" is what defines colors. And no, we can't describe all colors with just wavelengths... because something like "light blue" doesn't have a single wavelength associated with it. "Light blue" is a combination of blue light and a mixture of white light. This means the color of the sky, when you look at it, isn't a real color, because it's not pure blue and isn't associated with a single wavelength, the white light that's mixed in makes it look different from a pure blue wavelength, and you can't find a single wavelength that is the color of the sky. thejuice027 "the yellow you see on your monitor is producing a 580nm leaving the screen and hitting your eye" Roibeard64 For Switch Lite colors, I like the gray the best for how it contrasts with the buttons. As they point out, blue does this too. thejuice027 It's not wrong to say that... that's what's happening. You clearly have no idea what I'm saying because "you'd see the same color everywhere" has no bearing on what I said at all. You can take red and green wavelengths and with the right ratios, produce the exact same color as 580nm wavelength light, because that's how the eye works. That's how your monitor works. All those colors you see on your monitor are produced by just red, green and blue lights. If you see yellow from your monitor, there is no 580nm wavelength involved, yet you still see yellow. So "yellow" isn't a feature of 580nm light, but in which cones are being stimulated in which proportions. There is no yellow subpixel on your monitor, yet you can produce yellow on it. Step 3: Keep holding Volume up (+) and Volume Down (-) to boot switch in recovery mode. Recovery mode on Nintendo SwitchStep 2: Now, hold down both Volume up (+) and Volume Down (-) then press the power button to turn it ON. I can't believe you still can't grasp this. I'm sorry but you're just wrong, and you clearly do not understand the concepts you're talking about. I can't help your ignorance anymore. The new edition will launch alongside the Switch port of Miitopia, which adapts the 3DS RPG for the new system. And lo, the internet did rage. "It's not blue," they said. "That's bloody purple." Some people compared it to the colour of a Game Boy Advance; others said it was more like a GameCube. Blurple. thejuice027 No, 490nm is not light blue. That's cyan. Dark blue is not 440nm, that's some shade of bluish purple.

It's why colors are listed with RGB values, when you see R:255, G:255, B:0 and it produces a yellow color, that's because the red subpixel is at max intensity, the green subpixel is at max intensity, and the blue subpixel is turned off. Each subpixel has 256 levels of intensity, and that's how monitors produce color. bluebonics But you CAN describe light blue (490nm) and dark blue (440nm) respectively with different wavelengths. Every other color can be described, and has been described with a single wavelength of light. You say you can't describe colors with a single wavelength, but you can. Even if the sky is a mixture of white light, you can still say that a particular wavelength of light can stimulate the color cones in your eyes in the same exact way. Consider R=255,B=255,G=0 and R=255,B=0,G=255. The first is magenta and the second is yellow, but in neither case is there a wavelength associated with the color you're seeing hitting your eye. Both colors are being produced by the wavelengths associated with reds, greens and blues.

After all that excitement, I pulled out my markers and held up the one in question to the picture of the Switch on my monitor, and... it's not really that color. It's closer to the darker one, which is called French Blue. Which on Wikipedia, of course, looks far more blue than both the marker I'm holding and the Switch in question. In conclusion, you were right, colors are stupid and confusing. My mind was blow recently about the fact Newton forcibly dented indigo into the rainbow so it would have 7 colors (it was a religious "7 is a power number" thing). You can lead a horse to water, but if it asks "where's the water?" then there's only so much you can do. Kate Gray - I couldn't help but to notice your use of liminal in your article. Nice work. I like that sense of nebulous-editorial-easter-egging here on NL these days. A++++ fan service. The hue of the Blue Switch Lite is 226, compared to the GBA's value of 234 and the Gamecube's value of 248.

Colours are stupid and confusing and I regret starting this article. I actually think the blue switch looks white and gold— gamedesigndan.bsky.social (Dan Pearce) (@GameDesignDan) April 13, 2021 Importantly, I also learned about " Electric Indigo" - which is, apparently, the brightest colour indigo that can be approximated on a computer screen. It is also more purple than the Switch Lite, but not as purple as the GameCube. It's quite a nice colour, but it does sort of sear the retinas a little. Now, that we have looked at the majority of the reason, so it’s time to look at how to solve these issue. Method 1: Restarting your Nintendo Switch If you don't even understand this, it's no wonder you're so confused as to why magenta is real. I've even tried to explain eye physiology to you so that you can grasp how we perceive colors, but clearly you're struggling with this.You seem to have forgotten that there is a whole gradient of colors between blue and (blue + red), of which different proportions of blue will change it. thejuice027 Yes, light leaves the screen in the form of red, green and blue wavelengths. It never leaves the screen in the form of 580nm wavelengths. No wavelength associated with yellow or cyan or orange or any other color ever leaves your monitor. Again, you can see this by looking at the actual subpixels. If you get a magnifying glass, you will see that only red, green and blue light ever leaves your monitor. I’ve been hearing about how irritating Nintendo Switch’s Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) is. So I did some research and here are the 4 proven ways to solve BSoD on Switch.

I just appreciate that it's a color I'm not super fond of, so I'm not tempted to get it. Good on those who like the color though, I hope you have fun with it. If you can't tell if something is blue or purple, it's indigo. Indigo is the color inbetween blue and purple. It's 2 parts blue, one part red. It's a fact, not an opinion. ::mic drop:: 😄 Hahaha... seriously though 😠 Lo! We defile her blessings with our inane editorials on a subject which we have no business pontificating, nay, DEMANDING our knowledge is greater than that of the work of our omniscient deity. Repent, ye heathens (!) for our doom is not only nigh, it is colour-blind.

So if #0000FF and #8080FF and #000080 are the same wavelength then they must all be the same color. The only difference then would be how much additional brightness it has or doesn't have right? If you are unable to boot your Nintendo Switch on a recovery mode then the only thing you can do is leave the console on blue screen and let the battery dry. Not sure why everything has to be a debate or a flame war. Spend less time speculating and arguing (or giving opinions) over nonsensical stuff. Use that time to play more games.
