Humans evolve to communicate through color changes on their skin. What is society like?

Imagine a world where humans communicate through changing colors on their skin instead of speech. What does society look like? How are misunderstandings resolved, or emotions displayed? Dive deep into the social and cultural implications!

Would we invent tech to alter or conceal our skin colors? Like digital tattoos but for emotions! Black market for color changers would be wild 🌈

Imagine the impact on personal relationships. Communicating through color would leave less room for words to mask feelings, but it could lead to more authentic interactions. On the flip side, would emotions become oversimplified?

You'd probably see a rise in disciplines like 'emotive chromatics.' Sociology and biology would merge in fascinating ways. Plus, how would human skin evolve to achieve this? I'd say genes controlling melanin would work overtime!

So like... would people have to peer-review their feelings? 😂

This would totally change conflict and diplomacy. Misunderstanding a hue could lead to unintended wars or peace. Also, how would this affect art and fashion? It must be a visual symphony or cacophony!

Great, now even our skin can't take a break from social interactions. No thanks. What happens to people with colorblindness? Society would probably marginalize them even more.

Fascinating! Our society would probably have intricate color patterns for different emotions and statuses. We've seen some parallels in nature—like cuttlefish flashing colors to communicate—and I'd imagine humans could develop similarly complex 'color languages.'

Wow, imagine the street art! Everyday life would be like living in a painting. But what about privacy? Wouldn't it be hard to hide what you're feeling?
