Stygiagender / Stygian

[flag description: a black flag with two thick horizontal stripes on either side- one is a bright yellow, the other is the deepest visually distinctive blue possible. In the middle is a single white dot.]

Stygiagender - a colorgender relating to the color "stygian blue". This is a blue deeper than black that can only be viewed in reality via color fatigue. The flag is structured so that after staring at the yellow stripe for 10-15 seconds, looking at the white dot will create the last stygian blue stripe in the middle. A stygiagender person may also feel a connection to void or ultradark colors, but this is not necessary.

Below is another chart for stygian blue and some other colors that operate similarly!

Name: Stygian Blue Preferred name: Their full name is fine, but they don't care if you call them by a nickname either. Gender: Agender, but they don't care about pronouns. Stygian Blue is an urban legend. Their existence is speculated, and many claim they aren't real. Some claim they're the ghost of a blue that died in a horrible accident. Not many people have seen Stygian Blue, but they all tell a similar story. They were lost in a deep forest at night when they saw a silhouette. It seemed dark. Darker than black. They followed the silhouette, hoping to ask for directions. They would soon find themselves being led out of the forest with no sign of the figure. Interestingly, most of the witnesses were children. They don't seem to have allegiance to either side of the war and they are presumed neutral.

Of all the colors that humans can experience, there are two unusual ones that I particularly like: stygian blue and true cyan. Neither is an RGB color, so neither can be properly displayed on a conventional monitor, phone, or television. Luckily, both can be experienced using such a device by looking at afterimages! Stygian blue is perceived as being simultaneously blue and as dark as pure black (unlike merely dark blues, which are still perceived as lighter than black) and true cyan is much more vivid than RGB cyan, which is what you’re used to seeing on screens.

To see stygian blue, stare at the yellow dot below for at least 15 seconds, then look at the black square below it.

To see true cyan, stare at the red dot below for at least 15 seconds, then look at the grey square below it. Below that is a square that’s merely RGB cyan, for comparison.
