Omg! Do you remember the dress scandal of 2015???
It caused such a buzz…what color is the dress!? White/gold or blue/black.
It’s probably still up for debate these days but now there’s cause for an even hotter discussion.
What color shoes do you see!?!?
White/pink or grey/green?
I saw white/pink at first but after a while it’s grey/green! Weird!
Netizens are saying depending on what color scheme you see depends on if you’re predominantly using your left or right brain.
If you see white/pink, your right brain is dominant. You are a sensitive person and are well suited to music, rhythm, emotion, imagination, creativity, and drawing.
If you see grey/green, your left brain is dominant. You are a rational person, suitable for logic, language, mathematics, writing, reasoning, and analysis.
A recent vote on Weibo showed that 74% of people saw the grey/green color scheme.
Apparently, the shoes are actually white/pink!
Why do they look different in pictures?
The human eye is divided into 4stages:
- Light is reflected or emitted from objects into the human eye
- Light creates an image on the retina of the eye
- The optic nerve sends images to the brain
- The brain judges and interprets images
In other words, the color you see is subjective, not objective.
In different light sources, the color of the object will change.
People have a natural ability to subjectively subtract the influence of external light to guess the color of the object, that is, to eliminate part of the interference to observe the most real color.
The grey/green color is the color of the image, while the white/pink color is directly filtered by the brain. This is an automatic color matching to see the color of the shoe itself. Those that see the white/pink have better perception ability since it will actively eliminate interference to see the true color. The grey/green indicates the eyes have a deviation in color perception in low light conditions.
We have limited data to perceive, so the brain constructs a subjective world. The brain compensates for the limited information it receives by maintaining a model of the real world that is constantly updated with input.
We feel and trust the model, not the real world. We are an intervention machine, not an objective observer. In the real physical world, there is no such thing as color, only a spectrum.
