      teal sea foam green same thing..she just called it that or maybe her teal is slightly less dark then ours due to her brain or eyes..who knows...but I love how the guy with glasses thus must have eye problems or cortext brain issues with his vision said white and pink while I a normal seeing person saw grey and teal....genius..smdh that tells me all I need to know about this experiment and who sees the wrong color..my sister also needs glasses and also sees white and pink..basically if you have bad vision drink a lot have a messed up brain your going to see the wrong colors..its just facts

    • @ionethenb2764
      @ionethenb2764 4 роки тому +17

      She's not wrong tho. Sea foam green is sorted unspokenly agreed to be one shade, whereas teal is widely disagreed upon- I believe teal to be a dark blue green shade like malachite, and others say it's more of a turquoise, and still yet others say it's more of a pasty cyan shade. That's why colors are so annoying- its subjective

    As an artist it always boggles my mind how sometimes when you make the background color Grey but in the cooler side in the palette obviously you would choose a cool toned drawing especially for skin and when the background was more on the warmer tone you would choose a warm palette but when you post it in social media you then realize that alot of people see the colors differently just like how some would see it in a screen with customized lighting with its own shade of color sometimes people have it in warm tone or cool tone or night vision and the color of your drawing differs so much :// idk if it's just me or something

      The fake ones are definitely more of a magenta/pink. Also, under the filter they look completely gray to me. Maybe people who see the fake ones as more red can see the illusion of red too.

    Ah, the fabulous fun that is color theory! XD And then when you have trained as an artist, you are taught how to see what color something really is. This trickery of light works best when you are using it on a very neutral color like grey. When the grey is on a green background, it will appear more red then normal, it's opposite color, and visa versa. It is a little similar to the concept of staring at a back and white image, then looking at a blank surface and seeing it in reverse.

    3:32 - Places filter over camera, the strawberries cease being red, and are now dark grey/black.

      The dress was always such a stupid illusion. It's a bad overexposed photo, it doesn't matter what color the actual dress is. The image looks brown and very light blue, and that's exactly what examing it in an image editor proves.

And when I tilt the computer screen down as if Im closing it, it looks more white and goldish. But looking straight on at that picture anywhere on the internet, looks brown and light blue. Im curious what other people see if they tilt their screen if they only see the blue and black or white and gold versions.
