Pixels for Those With Visual Enhancements

Pixels for those with visual enhancements are a form of pixels that transcend current computer screens and are best appreciated by those who are able to see wavelengths beyond those of the typical human sight range. These pixels are of the form Infrared-Red-Green-Blue-Ultraviolet and are composed of five phosphorus filters as opposed to the typical three in the normal RGB, (or Red-Green-Blue), pixel.

Color Codes
Traditional hexadecimal color codes are in the form #dddddd, where d is a hexadecimal digit, (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f). The first two digits are allocated to the intensity of the red light in the first cell, the next two digits are for the intensity of the green cell, and the last two digits are for the intensity of the blue cell. Each pixel may have one of 256 intensities, (one of which is fully lit and the other one of which is empty), so there are 256x256x256 possible colors or pixel configurations, or 16,777,216 colors.

With the addition of an infrared and ultraviolet pixel however, there are now 2565 possible colors to those able to see such colors, (I call them "hyper-colors"), or 1,099,511,627,776 possible colors! The world is a colorful place to creatures like the Mantis Shrimp indeed!

So for these "hyper-colors", the color codes would be of the form #dddddddddd, where the first two digits are for the intensity of the infrared cell, the last two digits for the intensity of the ultraviolet cell, and the middle six digits with the same color encoding as normal six digit hex-codes.

Color Names

 * 1) 00FFFFFF00 is white to our eyes, but only because we cannot sense the presence of ultraviolet or infrared hues, hence we can also not sense their absence. #FFFFFFFFFF is "mantis-shrimp white", and #FF000000FF is "deeep purple". The word "deeep" is a heightened form of the normal word "deep". #00FFFF00FF is "vellow", a hue of bright yellow mixed with ultraviolet. #0000000000 is "mega black".
