A TIKTOKER has blown minds revealing a colour you ‘can’t see on a screen’.
User Kate Bacon shared a surprising optical illusion that she claims will make the colour appear.

The colour is known as ‘true cyan’.
“I’m going to show you a colour that you’ve probably never seen before,” she said to her 1.4million followers.
“It’s called true cyan and most TVs and monitors aren’t capable of producing this pigment.”
It works by starring at a tiny white dot in the centre of the screen for about 30 seconds.
The dot is surrounded by a big red circle and a blue background.
Once the 30 seconds are up, close your eyes tightly.

“You’ll see a glowing orb and that is the true colour of cyan,” she says.
It is true that most displays aren’t able to produce cyan in its purest form.
That’s because most use red, green and blue pixels, known as the RGB colour model, to create various combinations.
So while you may not be able to see cyan at its best on a display, you’ve certainly seen it before in the real world.
People in the comments on TikTok were torn about whether it is a real thing or not.
Why not give it a go yourself and see?
