The Mary's Room thought experiment discussed Mary, a woman living in a closed black&white room.
The room is full of books. Mary uses them to study everything possible about colors, without seeing colors even once for herself.
Would Mary study anything by going outside and seeing colors, given that she already knows everything possible about them?

@neiman Yep, because Mary doesn't know how seeing colors will make an impression upon her own mind.
She would probably think, "why did no one tell me how beautiful even the simplest demonstration of color was?"
