The Fictional Colour is a color described in a work of fiction that doesn't exist in Real Life, and would be impossible to create or obtain. The Fictional Colour is usually found in Speculative Fiction. It may indicate the presence or influence of magic, such as when a Magical Sensory Effect is in play. Sometimes it can only be seen by certain species or types of people. When not associated with magic, it's used to give some sort of descriptor to concepts that cannot be expressed by actual colors visible to the human eye, especially when it comes to energy. For example, any sort of infrared or ultraviolet vision changes things to a form we can comprehend, and works like The Incredible Hulk have caused gamma energy to be associated with green. In any event, it is almost always confined to non-visual forms of storytelling, for obvious reasons. If we actually saw it, well, it wouldn't be fictional. Visual works may incorporate this either by just having other characters describe the colors or removing all color from the work so you can just assume that shade of grey is a color you've never seen before. Strangely enough, attempts to describe the Fictional Color will often result in prose that is very much purple. The Parody Sue sometimes has eyes of this color. |

There are also different colours of black, mentioned both in Death's garden in Mort and Assassins' Guild uniforms in Pyramids. Usually only visible when darkness is split by an eight sided prism in a strong magical field, you can apparently simulate them by taking something illegal and taking a long look at a starling's wing. | |

In This Immortal, the Vegans perceive a different range of colours than humans do, starting deeper down in the ultraviolet range and stopping before red. This results in them seeing two colours where humans see white. | |

The color of Vivio Takamachi's magic in the Lyrical Nanoha series is best described as "iridescent". According to the manual, it is known as "Kaiserfarbe" note German for "Color of the Emperors" and is strongly associated with the extinct Saint King bloodline. | |

SCP Foundation Log of Anomalous Items. 3 of the pencils in a box of 24 Crayola-brand pencils are in colors that don't exist in nature. The colors are named "moiter," "emilet" and "cankri". SCP-558 ("Strange Contact Lenses"). When the red contact lenses are worn and used to view infrared light, the wearer sees it as a distinctly new color that they lack the language to describe properly. SCP-616 ("The Vessel and the Gate"). In Interview A the survivor says that when the door opened there was light coming from outside that was a haze of "...colors, but they weren't colors...". SCP-712 ("The Impossible Colors"). SCP-712-a and SCP-712-b are two impossible colors outside the visible spectrum created by a complicated piece of apparatus. Viewing them can cause migraines and/or grand mal seizures. SCP-1569 ("Jumbo Shrimp"). The tendrils inside SCP-1569 destroyed the eyes of the human trapped within it. As the tendrils dug around in his eye sockets he reported being able to see colors he had never seen before. He was seeing through SCP-1569's eyes. SCP-2606 ("Verminous Vessel"). When a person under the influence of SCP-2606 made telepathic contact with an octopus, they saw vivid colors that they could not describe, presumably those that an octopus can see but humans can't. SCP-3004 ("Imago"). A Foundation Agent uses astral perception to see SCP-3004-1's true form. When SCP-3004-1 opens its mouth, the Agent can see colors he had never seen before inside of it. SCP-8900-EX is an inversion: it's the spectrum as we know it that is "unnatural", the result of a global containment breach by SCP-8900 that colorized a previously black-and-white world. |

Discworld The color octarine, which is the eighth colour that only wizards can see. It is described as being approximately "a sort of fluorescent yellowish-greenish-purple", which may be based on the splashes of afterimage one sees after staring into a bright light. Non-wizards can't see it directly, but can pick it out from where other colours aren't. There are also different colours of black, mentioned both in Death's garden in Mort and Assassins' Guild uniforms in Pyramids. Usually only visible when darkness is split by an eight sided prism in a strong magical field, you can apparently simulate them by taking something illegal and taking a long look at a starling's wing. Inverted with the color of infinity, which Death describes as "duck-egg blue". |

In one of the Icecrown missions in World of Warcraft, a gnome technician gives you a pair of "infra-green" goggles so you can find their secret base on one of the citadel's spires. This might be a Shout-Out to the TV show The Green Hornet, whose car the Black Beauty has infra-green headlights (although those technically used polarized light). | |

In N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy, in The Broken Kingdoms, the main character is blind, but she can see magic. Since she's not normally sighted, she doesn't know the names of some colors, and makes them up. Regarding the story's Flying Dutchman god-in-human-form, Shiny, Oree calls his eyes "colors I had only heard of in poetry: fire opal. Sunset's cloak. Velvet and desire." Possibly a sort of reddish-yellow. She also makes up the words for the magic of the Eldritch Abomination Big Bad. His power is "sickly, mottled", a shifting combination of many colors as he has stolen the magic of several gods. | |

Or maybe Arcturians can see ulfire and jale; hard to tell, since the hero arrives on the Arcturian planet Tormance transformed into a local humanoid. | |

Call of Cthulhu The Colour Out Of Space (based on the H. P. Lovecraft story) is an Energy Being made up of colors outside the known spectrum. Curse of the Chthonians, adventure "The City Without A Name". The Scepter of Iram has a gem of a color not of our spectrum. Masks of Nyarlathotep, Shanghai section. Sir Aubrey's rocket is made of an alien metal that gleams with sickening alien colors. H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham: Unveiling the Legend-Haunted City, adventure "Uncle Silas's Books". If the Player Characters decide to burn the title magical books, the books will explode in flames that have colors unknown on Earth. |

The Lightbringer Series features, among others mentioned, paryl. The magic system in this fantasy series is based on colours and paryl is invisible to most, extremely hard to draft (do magic with) and very weak, but used by Teia, who, from book two onwards, is a main character. She has to keep it secret as colours other than those of the regular spectrum are considered blasphemic. Information in book description and the author's notes in the appendix suggests that "paryl" light is how Teia sees terahertz radiation. | |

In The Official Fanfiction University Of Middle-earth, urple. It's described as a combination of pink and purple in the worst possible way. Inspired by this fanwork was another parody, a Pokemon story called "The Official Fanfiction University of Kanto."

Futurama There is mention of a color called Blurple. Fry's description of an amazing, indescribable thing he saw that day at the beginning of "I Dated A Robot": In the episode "Reincarnation", an exploding comet creates a rainbow with an extra color never seen before. However, since that particular segment was Deliberately Monochrome, that new color just looks gray to the audience. |

In the Book of the New Sun trilogy, there's both fuligin, a color darker than black (described as appearing to be 'a hole in the universe' and reserved for the use of Torturers note And which sort of exists now in real-life, called Vantablack. Absorbs 99.965% of all light that hits it, anything covered with it appears to be a featureless blob.), and argent (originally meaning "silvery"), a color brighter than white (used solely by The Emperor). | |

In The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, one of the Whangdoodle's powers is being able to turn into whatever color he wants. When asked which color is hardest to do, he says "flange," which is all of the colors of the rainbow, all at once. He finds flange surprisingly easy to do once he's no longer the last of the Whangdoodles. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes hooloovoo, a shade of blue that is sentient. As a Shout-Out, this shade appears in Doctor Who, in the episode "The Rings of Akhaten". The third book describes a lair with the colors Ultra Violent, Infra Dead, Liver Purple, Loathsome Lilac, Matter Yellow, Burnt Hombre, and Gan Green. These colors are only mentioned in passing and have no significance other than to convey how horrendously ugly the lair is. |

The Guvnuragnaguvendrugun in The Jenkinsverse have a much wider and more precise color range than humans. Conveniently they also have chromatophores that communicate their emotions on this entire color range so while they can't describe the colors to humans, they can at least name them based on what emotion they mean. Most of the galaxy, however, are dichromats. So for them red is a fictional color. |

Unsong has, in addition to the conventional seven colors, the "three colors you only see in heaven", in keeping with the overall cosmology in which, roughly, the number seven represents earthly things, the number three represents heaven, and the sum, ten, represents God and completeness/perfection. A character weaving a spell in all ten colors at once is generally a sign to run away really fast. | |

In one of the Cobweb sequences in Tomorrow Stories, Cobweb's depraved ancestor La Toile encounters and mourns an eight forgotten color of the rainbow while in the underworld. As the sequence was done in mostly prose, the color is only mentioned. | |

In Fallen London, along with Sunless Sea, there's a whole spectrum of them: First there’s Irrigo, the unremembered color, a brilliant shade of purple which causes people to forget things the longer they are exposed to it, and soaks into you like radiation after a while. The body may start growing bone over the eyesockets if the exposure is particularly severe. Of the colors, it's perhaps the most dangerous, as prolonged exposure can utterly destroy a person, leaving a wandering husk that doesn't know anything and cannot learn more. Memories will come back for lesser exposure, but something will always be forever lost. Occasionally used as Brain Bleach by the extremely traumatized, and commonly by spies who need to forget certain bits of critical data on a regular basis. Violant, described as the color of necessary but troublesome connections. It also semi-counters Irrigo, and anything written in Violant ink is very hard to forget. Treaties written in Violant ink tend to be the result of very desperate times, for this reason. It's also called the color of perilous understanding; people who study the Correspondence use Violant ink often not just to remember what they've learned, but to understand it. Of course, nothing stops it from making you understand things you shouldn't understand. It's the color that gets depicted the most inconsistently, either as iridescent peacock or as wine-red. Apocyan, the blue of memory, usually found on particularly glowy and valuable bits of Unterzee coral and occasionally its waves. Not quite as special as the rest (even its respective high-profession item, the Crooked Cross, is just colored in Apocyan because it looks pretty), and possibly the most common of the lot, but sighting it does jog your memory of things that happened years ago. Dreaming in Apocyan as part of the Fire Sermon can produce daguerreotypes (19th-century photographs) of things that you saw in the dream. Cosmogone, the gold of remembered sunlight. Strangely enough, it seems to encourage plentiful fungus growth. Usually found in dreams, and in cinders that have been soaking in celestial radiations for too long. It presence also attracts things from beyond the mirror, good and bad, which is why those who venture there as their job wear glasses of this color. Viric, the green of shallow sleep and the light from mirrors. Which turns slightly unnerving when you know most mirrors IRL have a green tinge. Still, let's just say mirrors in the Neath are dangerous, and have links with dreams. For some reason, it also seems to encourage the growth of regular, non-fungal vegetables, though this effect is noted to thoroughly spook those who witness it. Peligin, the color of the deepest zee, both the actual water and its monsters. Hunters who have eaten the flesh of these beasts also get Peligin eyes. It's somewhat like a washed-out version of the Stygian blue in the page image: the darkest possible blue-gray, almost black. And finally there's Gant, which remains when all other colors are gone. Quite hard to find, and usually bad news when you do. Gant writing can only be read in near-complete darkness, and it can be used to directly erase any other color (which makes it valuable for tattoo removal). It's more beige than one might expect, though it does have a reddish tinge to it. |
