Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for December 27, 2024

I’ve had this conversation with people and it’s interesting to think about but there’s no way to know since we can only see through our own eyes!

From here it looks mostly white.

Right, it’s wrong. It’s white, you nincompoop.

My son is color blind :-(

I read about an interesting experiment with colors once. People were shown a color square and asked to identify the different colors. After everybody had done that, the color of the lights was changed so that the light reflected from the white square was the same as had been from a blue square previously. People were then shown another color square with the colors in a different order, and they were still able to identify the colors, including identifying the white square as white, and not blue.

Next check the colour of the dress in the window.

It looks gray to me.

One of my exes once asked me if these colors she was wearing made her look slimmer.

If he saw it as some other color than “Grey”, his own logic states that he’d still call it Grey, so saying “wrong” is, well, wrong… ☺

I have a bag which is a soft, dark blue color and some people call it green. I have a cycling jacket that is literally labeled “yelling yellow” and some people call it green.

yeah, it’s gray

This is why I don’t want to correct my color blindness. What if my perception of color is very different from what is considered normal? Everything would look strange.

Now you made me stop and think, is life just an illusion? I never stopped to ask the question, but now i’m stuck trying to figure it out.:}

Grey or gray?
