Remember "The Dress"?
« on: September 17, 2024, 11:15:48 AM »
The one that looked blue and black to some people (including me), and white and gold to others, that is: Well, this Guardian article is about colour perception, and a test you can do. I see green more than 75% of the gen. pub., apparently.
The article:

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

My result was "Your boundary is at hue 174, greener than 55% of the population. For you, turquoise  is blue."

ETA - looking at the graduations on either side of the line that it drew, I wonder if I saw them on a different screen with different light whether my answers would be different.

Mine was "Your boundary is at hue 177, greener than 75% of the population. For you, turquoise  is blue."

So a relatively small move in terms of hue has a big effect at this level

I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.

177. 78% Green

Funny, when I first saw the final picture I thought "my boundary is exactly average right on the border between blue and green" and then I realised, that's the point. Different people see the border in different places. Duh!

Mine was at the same point. 

Earlier this year I had cataract surgery - with a gap of four weeks between my left and right eyes. Following the operation on my left eye (the first) I was able to consider the extent to which my aging lens had denatured the colour of the world around me. White (through my new lens) looked little like the experience I called white through my (so far unoperated) right eye.

I wonder, therefore, if some of the differences reported here are due to the effects of aging?

Your boundary is at hue 174, just like the population median. You're a true neutral.

Did it twice and got different results. Both times when the graph came up I felt the boundary was in the wrong place!
