Remember that God Dammed Dress? Roland00 Send a noteboard - 12/05/2019 07:46:39 PM

Our eyes do not see color directly with the frequency that is consistent and replicable and there are all these "tricks" you can do that skew our perceptions. We often call those things illusions, but they are not really. Our vision operates by comparison as one of its rules.

While he did not specialized in color theory Alfred Yarbus experiments with eye tracking is another illustration of this principle. We do not see reality accurately instead our vision creates a form of reality like a controlled hallucinations.

Likewise we are actually better able to differentiate certain colors depending on our language and culture depending on the words we have for it. There are dozens of experiments that demostrate this especially on the blue green spectrum.

What we think is objective is inherently subjective. Both in language which is more constant over time and space, and ones individual biology (for example red green colorblindness, synsthesia, etc.)

But it also depends on the medium of how the color is presented, in the same frame of reference where your eyes is trying to figure out the color put another color right next to it, or even another symbol like a word (the stroop effect) and you modify the person perception of the experience. Green a foreground object looks differently when you have different backgrounds like blue, red, black, etc.

That God-damned dress is the definition of evil. Except all of visual reality is like that, the dress is just demonstrating there is a man behind the curtain and you should not pay attention to that Kansasan man who lives in an emerald I mean green city.
