Would you like to be invisible?

The idea seems fantastic, but really it is very simple. To be invisible, all you need to do is cover yourself with a colour humans cannot see.
Humans can see many colours, but there is a limit. Somewhere beyond the colour Teal is a colour our retina's cannot detect.
So you fill your pool with the stuff and jump in, naked of course, when you emerge, you are completely invisible.

Sometimes it has felt like I was. I could be in a room with other people who spoke as if I wasn't there, walked around me, and looked through me/past me to someone clearly more noticeable behind me and speak to them. Fortunately, this has been infrequent. That kind of 'invisibility' is unwelcome.

I am considering the very practical suggestion made here, but I guessing finding a tube of colouring of the hue described will be a challenge...because it's invisible.

@FreddieUK Hmm yea, probably not good to go out in rain, or when it is really cold, and keep in mind that the background behind you will vanish if someone looks at you. They won't see your dangly bits, but they will see your outline, so it is still not total invisibility.
Perhaps the best approach would be a suit you wear that takes what is behind you, and projects it on the front of the suit.

@JamesBugman Yes, the research needs a bit of a tweak.

@FreddieUK Sure does.. see through AND invisible, now that would work.

I've always dreamed of invisible astroprojection. I could have so much fun at Walmart.

I could also borrow Harry Potter's invisibility cloak

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters But then you are stuck under this hot blanket, can't see anything, can only listen, and people could still bump into you or trip on you.

Ignoring the question of how one would become invisible for the moment

It could be pretty fun; being able to constantly humiliate politicians and celebrities by causing wardrobe malfunctions...
