"Scientists discovered a new colour! They're calling it #olo." My excitement was obvious.
"Something wrong with the old colours?" Asked the elder.
"It's a very saturated blue green. It'll make other colours seem #dim. Here, you can see it with these special glasses. They might tingle your eyes."
I put the glasses on him. "See, there's a sort of bright teal..."
"Ah, yes. Olo, you say?" He asked, taking off the glasses. "We call it luzan."
"You what?!" My jaw dropped as he handed me the glasses.
"It's a good start," he patted me on the back, as if I were a child with macaroni art. "Now, when you learn to see such colours without glasses, you'll be ready."
"Ready for what?!"
