Balta1701 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) My wife are having a battle over this, so I really hope someone can find some science that proves what I am seeing as being superior, haha. I figure my eyes are more advanced so those seeing blue have more focus and able to see more colors of the color spectrum vs. those who see white (who at some point, all the color's blend to white). Bunch of science versions are out already. Apparently this effect is also why Percival Lowell thought he saw canals on Mars. Another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this effect is also why Percival Lowell thought he saw canals on Mars. Another "Without you having to worry about it, your brain figures out what color light is bouncing off the thing your eyes are looking at, and essentially subtracts that color from the “real” color of the object. “Our visual system is supposed to throw away information about the illuminant and extract information about the actual reflectance,” says Jay Neitz, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington. “But I’ve studied individual differences in color vision for 30 years, and this is one of the biggest individual differences I’ve ever seen.” (Neitz sees white-and-gold.) This part really explains it well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 A friend, my kids and I were all arguing over this last night. 3 of us saw royal blue and black. the other two saw white and gold. I was one that saw blue and black. Now when I first opened this thread, I saw a lighter shade of blue and gold. Now when I just looked again, it went back to blue and black.

clyons Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It is white and gold, and I will fight to the death anyone who claims otherwise as I feel very strongly about this important matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The part that is even more strange is that in most polls the wrong answer "white-gold" is winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I can't for the life of me figure out how anyone sees white. I can see a pale blue at best in some versions of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I see white and gold. I kind sorta see a slight shade of blue in the darker versions of the picture. The gold just turns to brown though. Ive never seen black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I put this in my Adobe Photoshop program and sampled it. It came out blue, light blue, dark gold, brown, and black. No white at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Now I find myself trying to see it as the white and gold I initially could only see it as and I cant do it. My brain will not allow me to see it as white and gold anymore. Very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
