@@trisarathops I feel you. With a generic half-good pc chrome is usable but anything above two tabs with lot of data like youtube or tweetdeck it just tortures the hardware. Firefox is better tbh.
As a tetrachromat (actually diagnosed by an ophthalmologist in the 90's as a child not from the internet during this fad) I'm perfectly okay with the loss of the "super" label. All it's ever done for me is give me an appreciation for Lisa Frank and make both my sons color blind...
Indeed. Should have tried to include one of each of several major colors -- not just RGB but also the "subtractive" colors, such as Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Oh, and violets. Definitely violet. AND a copy of that m#$%#^& f%^^$^%$ dress... :-D
I was thinking the exact same thing... "I'll make a video abour colors so hmm... how about the GRAYEST clothes and background combo I can possibly produce?"
I'm English too and the sky is blue and mauve at the moment. You must be from 'up north' in which case I concur. It's mostly grey with wisps of black 😜
IMPORTANT to everybody who thinks they're colorblind because of seeing the "2" in the example in the video: this test CANNOT be done reliably on a computer screen. The wavelengths of the red, green, and blue phosphors differ between a) CRT displays, b) LCD displays, c) plasma displays, d) digital cameras, and e) the peak wavelengths of cones in human eyes. This test is only valid when printed with specific inks and viewed in specific lighting conditions. It's just like the tetrachromat example he gave in the video: your monitor and his camera don't have the capability of producing all of the colors your eyes can see, so it can't test accurately for deficiencies in your vision. Do not trust any online color test. If you are concerned because you failed a color test online, go to a real doctor.
Not quite that simple. For some of the plates, you will see one number if you have the deficiency that plate is testing for, or a different number if you don't. And then there are some with squiggly lines.
IIRC People with normal vision will see most of the number, but several important dots will not appear as part of the number because they can correctly differentiate the color is different on those dots than the rest of the dots that make up the number. People with the specific type of colorblindness see the entire number with no missing dots.
I remember in 11th grade, my creative writing teacher was fighting a student so hard because she believed the perception of the dress was based on your mood.
I can see both gold and blue version on the dress or could when it were on the news - but then again im coloursensitive so i think -I hate gamefog in games since its the same as glare from sun for me - I cant see much
I just learned why bug zappers used to look different to me as a child when I wore glasses vs. when I wasn’t! I had my lens removed from my eye as an infant, (cataracts) and my glasses had a UV protective coating. Thank you for solving that mystery for me.
I was an eye specialist for part of my time in the army. All the candidates for pilot positions needed to be tested for color blindness (even the females even though they never fail). What always blew my mind is everyone who fails the test does not think they are color blind, they had no idea. They thought I was messing with them when I said no there really is a number on this slide. I felt bad having to fail somone on that test but lives depend on you seeing correctly through optics. Also on the PIP test there are slides which even the color blind can see ment as a control and one or two which have no number.
Fun fact, Monet had very bad cataracts late in his life. He had the lens of one of his eyes removed. Because of this there are paintings at the end of his life that he made where he painted the exact same scene twice using only one of his eyes each time. The result being a bright and violet painting and the other being a dark and brown painting. But each of the exact same scenery.
@@itai7809 Yeah, and tetrachromats don't have the magical abilities many assume. They have the same red vs green and blue vs yellow channels so they don't see completely different colors, they just see more subtle variations.
@@johnalanelson A true tetrachromat which is extremely rare does have the circuitry in the brain to see color shifts and things like fringes on the edges of shadows. That is pretty magical and would be great for an artist. I am a tetrachromat and what it does for you is allow you to mix paint so it matches exactly. I am going to be painting my house interior white and I had to do a lot of research to find the paints with the highest light reflection value (LRV) because what is called white by paint companies is usually light gray, blue , green, yellow, pink, you name it which is really irritating.
Me neither, but I didn't know they were not legal in the U.S. I wonder why that is ....and it explains why you can't get cassis soda in the U.S... shame because it is very tasty..
@@a_diamond The Blackcurrant plant can harbor a fungus known as White Pine Blister Rust which is fatal to American White Pine trees (since Blackcurrant is native to Eurasia and the tree has not evolved any defenses against the fungus). So in America, blackcurrant was banned in an attempt to manage and prevent the spread of the fungus.
@@a_diamond Technically, you can. It's only the Black Currant bushes that are banned in the USA and only in certain areas IIRC. You can hop on Amazon in the states right now and get black currants or all sorts of black currant products. They're just not common here because of that long-standing restriction from a long time ago. Black currants just weren't widely available and thus never became popular. That's why any purple colored candy you come across in the states will likely be a grape flavor (or some sickly artificial version thereof) Most people here have no idea what a black currant is or what its tastes like.
I'm a tetrachoromat. I found out when I was getting my eyes tested while I was at Mayo clinic. They were worried I had brain damage, and eye damage from my illness. I would only describe it as having a really useless annoying superpower- the ability to tell colors only slightly differently. It will drive you crazy because you can look at shirts in the same rack, and it will all look slightly different just because of the dye mixed differently, but most people don't notice. I gave up on trying to match my clothes because even when they are say, black, they all appear to have a different undertone- sometimes blue, sometimes green. Skin color on people is pretty interesting though, because of the subtle undertones of their skin. My husband is red/green colorblind, and it drives me crazy when he says something is green when it's not green. Course I drive him crazy when I tell him something is 'blue black' or 'green black' or 'lavender white'.
Nulin22 you can start to notice that yourself if you’re a trichromatic too I believe. I think the easiest to start is with people with high amounts of melanin aka black people lol as a black person, I see different undertones: red, “orange”, yellow, blues, and even violet(?) aka purple (it’s really a deeper blue in context of the video I assume). With white people I’ve seen green before but they must’ve just had bad skin 😂 i was a kid I saw that too so maybe they ate a crayon or something haha but I have seen it as an adult. I think when I see green on pale skin is because of the veins and arteries tho... it’s harder to see it on camera or on video but definitely in person if you really open yourself to notice it. But like in my family, my sister has more yellow undertones and I have yellow and red undertones but we’re both light skin... it’s very weird.
Micah Cook I think the best way is to see how fast you can do the 100 hue test from colormunki, a techrachromat can probably get a perfect score in 10 minutes.
Micah Cook I noticed that pale skin people mostly have many different pink undertones, yellows, blues, browns, lavenders, purples, and more. I can see just as large of a rainbow on any skin color.
So when you started talking about Deuteranopia, the video didn't look normal at all but I definitely saw a 2. And then I took a test that says I've got mild protanopia, but the blue-yellow colorblind part of the video looked the closest to normal. I don't know what to make of this. And I'm related to a few colorblind women!
It doesn't seem to be worded well he says if you see a "2" you're colorblind but I suspect he means the opposite because I see 2 and I'm pretty sure I'm not colorblind
Don't worry, he messed up the script. I saw a 2 as well, and I know I have normal color vision. Those tests are meant to identify a LACK of ability to discriminate between colors. Being ABLE to see the number (other than if it's the wrong number) indicates your vision is normal... at least with respect to that test. He's kind of an idiot and very arrogant. Tons of factual errors in this video.
There is a famous series of kids detective novels in my country that did a take on tetrachromacy once. Basically, there was a failed artist who made paintings that looked plain yellow to any "normal" person but a tetrachromat would be able to notice the hidden messages on them since they were in a slightly different shade of yellow. That could still work, right?
"What in nature is purple?" My go to was eggplant, but also lavender, lilac, fuscia, violet (and dozens of other kind of flowers,) Siamese fighting fish, a bunch of kinds of exotic birds... I'm not sure your point here. Yes its not a monospectral color because it requires blending, but it *is* a color because it's perceived as one. Just because most of the colors we see on a regular basis can be substituted with single frequency colored light doesn't mean that's what is actually being reflected to our eyes. We could look at something and go, "oh it's yellow!" either because it's reflecting monospectral yellow, or because it's actually reflecting green and red, but in the later case such a color is "not" yellow in the same way you're insisting purple "isn't" a color. In reality nothing inherently "has" color, because color experience is a mental phenomenon. Thus any "color" is "real" if it has been perceived.
Purple does exist in nature, it's just rare because it's harder to produce biologically. Anthocyanin is the compound that allows plants to produce purple pigment, it also changes color with PH, that's why when you crush certain berries with your hands they will stain your hands with a different color from the original color of the berry or appear almost black once dry.
@@TheSimon253 "The growing and importation of currants were banned in New York and other parts of the United States for more than half a century because they were thought to help spread a fungus that threatened the timber industry."
Knowing Better Not anymore. Technically. With modern screening and jumping through the correct hoops, you can grow black currants here now. However, its extremely tough on an industrial scale and therefore it’s not profitable to sell them in supermarkets
Knowing Better Actually did some more digging, turns out they aren’t a vector for the fungus, they never were. Just a cautious albeit incorrect law passed upon this assumption. It’s since been repealed however blackcurrants have never caught on due to them being absent from the start
"name one thing in nature that is purple" the inside petals of a fucia flower. Lilacs Lavender flowers The inside of a certain type of clam shell Amethyst Crushed up blueberries Bruises on certain skin tones Blackberry juice
I'm a male and I did see a difference between the yellows. I'm guessing it had more to do with the screen I'm watching it on than anything else. One interesting thing that happened in a chemistry lab in college is that I once saw an extra spectrum line for one of the elements. The TA kept telling me I was wrong and that I was doing it incorrectly. When the ta inspected my set up and looked at exactly where I drew put the spectrum line he remarked "oh I forgot that some people can see into the UV range a little."
One of the best explanations I've seen on this subject. My color vision has the normal human range of colors, however being a serious photographer with a darkroom, I got trained in into discerning color differences. I can see 40 differences in that crappy and less than 8 bit image you shown. Sometimes it takes training. I'm also do electronic repair and during my military training those who have color blindness cannot take the course. There were color coding on the wires and components representing the numbers 0-9. I can distinguish violet from blue and purple/magenta. Violet is the narrow wavelength pass band while purple/magenta is the mix. I was taught that in my high school photography and physics classes. Women do have a sharper perception of color. Some may be the X in the 23 or hormonal. Anecdotal evidence with fellows who took estrogen for gender dysphoria or testicular and prostate cancers noticed the color perception changes. Myself included with the extension further in the violet. I used spectroscopes, K-line calcium filter on the sun and diffraction gratings to test this on and then off of the estrogen. The K-line narrow band violet solar filter image through a solar telescope with detail was seen by the most of the women and girls and some young men and some boys present at a showing. The older men and others with the difficulty saw nothing or a dim disk with no detail. Me being off of the stuff, the K-line is now dull. This happened within 3 weeks off of E.
"I can see 40 differences in that crappy and less than 8 bit image you shown." Honestly, this has more to do with your screen's ability to show similar colors. If you have relatively normal vision and can't see at least around like, 35 colors, your screen is probably just banding pretty badly.
From what I know all occurrences of purple in nature are just different concentrations of the commonly occurring red pigment. It's the same with blue berries, they're not blue, they're really really really really deep red. Citation needed.
The best part of this video was showing your ability to distinguish between "less" and "fewer". I, unfortunately, have been slowing losing this ability ever since I started using the internet.
Fun fact about me, I was born super early so my eyes were under developed. I was classified legally blind at birth but through corrective lenses and surgery I can now see well with glasses and still poorly but well enough without them. I also have an issue with light brightness (if its bright out I cant see shit, if it's dark out I can see shit), and differentiating browns from each other (the only time this is usually in issue is with shows shot dimly, video games with a very brown color scale, or paintings with lots of brown). There are some shades of brown I literally cannot tell apart from one another.
He made a mistake, you're not supposed to see a number if you have this condition. This circle is part of a color blindness test, you have different circles for different types of color blindness, if you don't see the number in a certain group of circles that means you have the type of color blindness that those circles tests for.
I had always wondered why there were no in-between answers for the dress, I saw it as a washed out blue and kindof a worn-brass color(brown, less specifically) Later I watched a video of someone dissecting the image(as well as the shoe image), and revealed that the actual colors appearing on ones computer screen are indeed washed out blue and brown.
I've only seen it as a pale blue with muddy gold. So basically the way you describe it. I would like to know what video that was though (I haven't seen it & have only happened across a couple of references to the blue/brown combo being seen at all.)
I posted a large comment about this but basically if you see it as black and blue it's because you either knew it was black and blue to start with or you have a more intuitive sense of how light effects color. The pixels are dim bluish white and dingy brown. So if you see it as "white and gold" you're talking about the image that you're seeing. If you see it as "blue and black" your brain is at the very least doing a bit of gymnastics to reach a more correct answer. Like he said it has nothing to do with your eyes. Everything to do with your brain.
"Think about it, what in nature is purple?" * Immediately thinks of a purple Iris flower * "You probably thought of grapes...." * Never mentions plants beyond that * Uhh..... * Looks over to the purple shamrock plant on the table beside me, looks up to my penny black nemophila that has dark purple flowers, looks at my Tradescantia spathacea..... Etc...... * Dude lots of plants are purple or have purple flowers or accents......... Like. The plant equivalent of melanin is literally purple. In fact once upon a time all plants were purple. Like I'm not saying you're wrong that our version of purple isn't like. Idk an approximation or whatever, but. I would have liked an explanation for all the purple plants everywhere if it apparently doesn't exist...
Also vetch and some thistles. Not saying they aren't mixed to get there but the appearance is there color is there. I believe blue is more rare in naturally occurring vegetation than purple. But flowers colors are meant to be seen by insects and birds and not us so there are ultraviolet bits in them too. Veritasium/physics girl did cool videos on it.
Thats a fun story and all, but the facts is that those plants ain't purple. From my seconds of online research, I have discovered that so-called "purple" plants are plants that contain more anthocyanin than chlorophyll. They just absorb green light better than chlorophyll does, so they shoot red and blue light back into our eyes, which, as said by Mr. Video Man, our brain then perceives as purple. Your point that there exists plants that our brain says our eyes say is purple, doesn't mean that purple is actually happening in nature. Bitch.
“Purple is not a natural color. think about it, what in nature is purple?” Wisteria. Pansies. Asterwoods. Eggplant. Amethyst coral fungus. A few other fungi. Purple lichens. Violet backed starlings. Guoldian finch. Jarcaranda trees.
With the "no purple in nature" example, my mind actually jumped immediately to flowers. there are some flowers that can be a very, very deep and distinct purple. How do you explain that? Moreover, how do you explain the brain's interpretation of there being purple at ll if there's no such thing?
In my opinion, purple is either just weird blue or weird red. God, 7 year old me would be so offended by what I just said, I loved purple a lot back then
I think there's a particular opinion that violet and purple aren't the same thing, because purple (not referring to our perception of a color) isn't a light wavelength that can be reflected. Which is the only way you can really justify saying that... because violets are... well, violet. Which to normal people means they are purple. You essentially have to be in the camp that doesn't think a kajillion different colors exist in nature, because you classify them as degrees of already existing colors. So to those people, colors like 'lime green' or 'periwinkle' or 'burnt umber' or 'cerulean' don't exist in nature from a scientific perspective. And purple is in that same category as all of those color combinations that don't have their own light wavelength or something. I'm not an expert, and really bad at explaining so I would take this with a massive spoonful of salt and do your own research but yeah. That's basically how I understand that.
IndoDINO RUclips ultraviolet rays exist so amethyst is more a violet. It’s a crystal anyway too but I don’t know how the light makes it violet. If you look at uvlights you’ll notice a lot in nature is giving off that color than our standard rich purple. I believe our context for true purple has some more reds or blues to it.

I was sent to the principal's office in 3rd grade because I defended a friend who got into trouble for coloring a picture of our teacher, using a green crayola to color her hair. She thought it was an act of insurrection by a 9 yeat old Fidel Castro. And I played the part of Che Guevera. She didnt believe either of us. When I got home , crying and sure I was going to be disciplined, I had to explain my friends color blindness to my father. He listened to my sobs and my story. And patted my head with a smile and congratulated me for defending a friend. I believe that day my father grew 2 feet taller and became my hero. A call from my father to the school the next day and both me and my friend were given a very tepid, half assed apology by the teacher.
It's a quote from Yugioh the Abridged series, and is relevant to the conversation since the character in question who says the quote is an egotistical git with tyrannical tendencies.
vanishedspartan For someone referencing the abridged series, I expected you to notice my reply was also a reference. Apparently I was mistaken, even though that quote comes in a few seconds after the part about green hair.
People saw it as gold and white because it was lit terribly and the camera is bad. My solution to that connundrum was to look at the pixels. And they weren't dark blue and black. They were a dim bluish white and a dingy brown. Honestly if you see that picture as a black and blue dress, it's because your mind is taking a second longer to process what you're looking at. Your brain is taking a second to correct for the image's terrible lighting. And if you see it as white and gold you're not. You're looking at the pixels and not seeing any black at all. Your brain isn't factoring in the light the way some other people might. You might not recognized that the image is terribly lit, in which case your mind doesn't do the work to extrapolate what the actual colors might be. The Image is white and gold (closer to a dim light blue and dingy brown as I said before), the dress is black and blue. It certainly has nothing to do with your eyes.
Interesting idea, and probably right. I know I can see the full spectrum, never had any color blindness related troubles, but this dress is white and gold to me. There was one time when I saw it with a different light and suddenly I saw it as blue and black, but the original picture didn't leave any doubt when I first saw it.
Poorly lit photos don’t usually result in major color changes like that. I’m convinced that they were in fact two different dresses. Only way I would know for certain that it’s different perceptions of the same photo, is if someone prints it off and I see it still as the white and gold, and someone looking at the photo that claims it is different is looking at the same photo.

1:28 I'd say it's a firmware issue rather than software issue, implying neurology rather than psychology. Great, interesting and informative video BTW!
My eye doctor told me I had an unusually wide color spectrum when I was fifteen. The more I learn about people who can actually see outside the normal spectrum the more I am convinced I either wasn’t paying attention to what he actually told me or I was lied to. Probably the former. I am really good at identifying slight differences in color though.
The “purple party filter” is actually a secondary emision line of the UV phosphor used in black lights. Over 90% of the light emitted actually falls in the UVA spectrum. It’s ultraviolet in the sense that its too short of a wavelength to see, but too long to be ionizing.
Since I had my injured lens removed and replaced with a implant everything is brighter and a little washed out in that eye. Kind of like how harsh fluorescent lighting can be.
I've never been able to get a good answer about my eyes, not even from an optometrist. When it's really sunny outside, everything looks blueish/violet gray out of my right eye, but vividly colorful out of my left eye. I have a slight astigmatism, my left eye is -0.25(nearsighted) and my right eye is +0.50(farsighted). I've always wondered if it's because the different shapes are stretching the wavelength of light so that I'm being blinded by ultraviolet in my right eye. One sees really well far away and the other up close, so I have 20/16, but it gives me headaches by the end of the because one is always struggling to focus.
Nope. That isn’t how that works. The cornea absorbs UV C and the lens absorbs UV B. (The retina absorbs UV A which is why you still should avoid looking directly at the sun or arc weld with the right mask.) Those would be blocked from hitting the light-sensitive retina evenly between your eyes regardless of nearsightedness/farsightedness. If you are concerned about the difference in colors between your eyes in certain lighting conditions, it is most likely due to a defect in the lens (aka a cataract) which may scatter certain wavelengths unevenly, or a defect in optic nerve due to some type of damage which may have occurred along time ago. Also, if you are having trouble with headaches/eye strain at the end of the day, start by wearing your glasses or contacts the whole day (that you are awake) for a week or two. If it doesn’t help, you probably have an eye muscle issue that can usually be help with vision therapy, which is similar to physical therapy but for your eyes. Also, because it is a pet peeve, having astigmatism is basically insignificant in almost every case and really truly is not bad nor does it make you special.
Some people do have different color perception between their eyes. Perhaps you have something else going on like being a chimera where the cells in one eye are genetically different than the other eye. It's rare, but it happens. An opthalmologist (eye doctor/surgeon) might be able to answer your questions.
"I've always wondered if it's because the different shapes are stretching the wavelength of light" well clearly you have no idea what you're talking about. we know that for sure
@@captainhoratiobungleiii7147 'Blackcurrants were once popular in the United States as well, but became less common in the 20th century after currant farming was banned in the early 1900s, when blackcurrants, as a vector of white pine blister rust, were considered a threat to the U.S. logging industry.'...

At one time I ran a number of vision tests at work and noticed that about 1/4 of the men had issues with the "what do you see" tests. Stuff that just leaped out to me had them scowling and staring, and eventually reaching out with a finger to trace the correct shape. They could see it, but it was difficult. They also had issues with differentiating similar colors from each other. It was then that I realized that a lot of my arguments with people over the years about what color something was was "we're both right."
I have heard that you can get better at detecting differences in colors; another potential reason that spectrum test doesn't work. It has been years since I read whatever article that was, but it was pointing at graphic designers as people that tend to get better due to their need to put that skill to use.
I know I'm late to the party but I did notice the line between the two yellows colors and did notice the that green as added before he mentioned it. Being male I'm positive I'm not tetrachromatic but I do do graphic design as a hobby. It seems my anecdote would support this being the case.
I know I’m late to the party but as a guy who has fiddled with minor variations of color (mostly things like the difference between 0x888888 and 0xAAAAAA) I was able to distinguish the different yellows side by side. It definitely seems like practicing color differentiation helps improve your ability to perform color differentiation, the same way that practice improves any other activity.
I have a friend that is color blind and just recently found out from him that there is more than one type of color blindness. I had no idea about that. This really helped educate me. Thank you! I have another friend with a color blind son and they recently got those glasses for him. It was a very emotional experience for the whole family when he saw the world in "full color" for the first time.
There are a few variations with some sub-variation. A Google search provided me with protanomaly, protanopia, tritanomaly, tritanopia and monochromacy.
@@Skyluzz there isn't a recently found color blindness. they just said that they had recently learned about the various forms of color vision deficiency
Him: think about it, is there anything in nature that is purple? Mia Forté : lilac- Him: you probably thought of grapes Me: "Violet! You're turning Violet, Violet!" (Cue the oompa loompas)
the funny thing is, he used a picture of an american grape (Muscadinia or Vitis rotundifolia). there are european grape (Vitis vinifera) varieties that are much more convincingly purple
Yes, or at least it was for long enough that the flavour is foreign and alien to Americans. That's why Americans have grape flavoured things where in the rest of the world, it would be blackcurrant.
I could spot the difference between the two yellows. It's interesting except for what you mentioned just before that about that we can't do any online test to know because it's all pixels. For the dress, I first said it was black and blue, but after a bunch of arguing over it, I sat and considered to intentionally look at it as white and gold and I could see it. I think it's more of a mental perspective shift because of the lighting. I could see it as both.
I read at one point that a good number of bird species do have a fourth cone and can see somewhat past the wavelength we call violet, although some birds see farther into the ultraviolet range than others. Apparently some birds that look drab to us (and to most predators) actually look vibrant to potential mates because some of their feathers reflect ultraviolet. I read something like that about bees and certain ultraviolet-colored flowers as well. It's been long enough since I looked into it that I'm taking even my own words with a grain of salt, but it does seem like there are animals out there that get more use out of being tetrachromats, because their fourth cone isn't as redundant as a human's yellow cone!
What you're seeing is a cascade of errors. First, the test card he's showing probably isn't an actual card from an Ishahara color test set, but one printed on a computer printer with its inaccurate inks. This was then photographed with his camera, which has inaccurate color filters on its sensor, in a room lit by lights that are probably not continuous spectrum lights. Then it got h.264 encoded to be put online, which limits the colors. Then you watched it on your computer monitor, with its inaccurate color filters, backlit by either LEDs or cold-cathode fluorescent tubes that have their own spectrum deficiencies, in a room also lit by non-continuous-spectrum light sources. It's almost a miracle that ANYBODY sees the correct pattern. And by the way, NO online test can accurately diagnose color deficiencies, for the reasons already given.
Great video. You can also train your brain to come more aware of the real colors you're seeing. This is typically something artist learn, and become more hone over time. I've looked at the world very differently since getting an art degree. I see the world as hues, shades, tints, gradient, patterns, variations of light, etc.
I always knew that I could distinguish between subtle shades of colors. I also read that if you saw white and gold or blue and black, it was because of the screen you were looking through. From your examples I believe I'm a tetrachromat and I'm a female. I've had men in my life that, I don't believe they were color blind, didn't see colors the same as me. I chocked it up to male and a lack of interest.
@Sigma Chad It's not an illness. I was an art student when I was younger and always saw the subtle differences in subtle shades of color. I continued seeing the differences and never thought anything of it. I still don't since my close vision has deteriorated with age. Hopefully, I will be able to afford a new pair of glasses next year because it's hard to see clearly when your vision is blurry.
"If you see any number at all, like, maybe a 2, cogratulations. You have deuteranopia which is the lack of green cones" Me: oh shid, deuteranomaly time.
I'm pretty sure there's a kind of Mediterranean sea slug or snail or something which makes a purple substance that gets turned into a purple dye (Tyranian purple or something like that?). And, of course, iridescence often creates purple hues. But aside from that...yeah, the closest I can think of are some deep reds.
I have always had an uncanny ability to differentiate between similar colors. It's honestly more of an annoyance than anything. People wear clothes that are close enough to pass but the slightest difference in color drives me mad.
Violet and purple aren't the same thing. Violet IS a real "colour" in nature, or more accurately, it's a real wavelength of light on the light spectrum. But if we could "truly perceive" it (if such a thing is even conceptually accurate to postulate), you can be sure it wouldn't look like a mixture of red and blue (which is what our conception of "purple" is... erroneously.) Violet would be its own separate colour rather than a combination of two lower frequency colours. IMO the best way to visualise the colours as they TRULY are, is to look at the spatial distance of their wavelengths, or perhaps to translate them into sound and hear them represented through their frequency of sound instead. Trying to think of an analogy: On an A scale on a Piano, let's suppose Red is A, Orange is B, Yellow is C, Green is D Blue is E, and Violet is F. In physical reality: - You just rise up the scale and hear each note frequency as it truly is. And those are the true colours. In our mind however: - Red would be a note of A - Yellow wouldn't be a note of C, it would be a chord of A+D instead. Because we don't have a Yellow cone that is shaped to hear that "C note" (but a tetrochromat WOULD be able to distinguish between an A+D chord and a C Note due to their extra yellow cone) - The same is true of Violet. We wouldn't be able to hear the "F note", instead we'd hear a chord of A+E because we don't have a Violet cone. However, unlike with yellow which is perceived as an average between Red and Green... Violet ISN'T an average between Blue and Red, it's a higher note than both. So the chord of A+E doesn't really work the same way as it did with yellow. Basically... tl;dr: Purple is a colour that doesn't exist in nature. It's not part of the colour spectrum, it's just our brain trying to do our best to process visual information using the tools available to it.
Your music analogy doesn’t work. Human hearing has one device that detects sound from 20hz to 20000hz. The human eye has three devices that each only detect a very narrow range of wavelengths, even combined the range of detection is orders of magnitude smaller than hearing. From between 400 to 700nm. An octave is the doubling of frequency (hz) between two sounds. Human vision cannot see even one ‘octave’! Combining a low pitched sound with a middle pitch sound does not create the audible equivalent of ‘yellow’; it doesn’t even create the sensation of pitch in between low and middle pitch. When you combine multiple pitches you get chords, not new pitches. Colour and sound are not analogous to each other, they are fundamentally different.
The way you said blackcurrant was adorably American. I both love and hate how Brits and Yanks can't read our own language when the other uses it. Blackcurrant is spoken as "blak ku-rnt." Basically, black is black, and currant is actually current, as in 'water current.' On a lighter note, I'm sorry you don't have any blackcurrant. It's really nice, and great in Ribena.
@Jeremy Shuler It's a brand of drink we call "Squash", a type of flavoured syrup you mix with water, and Ribena is like the best one, better than Kool Aid
Canadian currently living in the US. I have found places in the US that sell Ribena but it's clearly not even close to as popular back home. Drinking some right now. Don't think I've consumed blackcurrant in any other form.
the y chromosome does not code for cones and it could be said that the people who thought that the dress was white and gold had malfunctioning color constancy because they weren't able to see the actual colors
Don't worry, you're probably not colorblind. I could see the number was supposed to be a two too, but I noticed a lot of dots were missing from the two. Maybe he meant you're colorblind if you saw those dots as the same color as the two too.
@Soul Yeah, I worked out around five seconds later I didn't have some kind of vision deficiency, but it was an interesting moment of absolute confusion on my part
Merlot grapes are extremely purple sir! Many red bordeaxs as well. Also, violets are pretty purple. I also had one hell of a purple hibiscus on my fence at the old house!
Red and blue. Purple not being a natural color just means that it is much more rare because it requires two different colors, instead of just being a single natural tone.

IMPORTANT to everybody who thinks they're colorblind because of seeing the "2" in the example in the video: this test CANNOT be done reliably on a computer screen. The wavelengths of the red, green, and blue phosphors differ between a) CRT displays, b) LCD displays, c) plasma displays, d) digital cameras, and e) the peak wavelengths of cones in human eyes. This test is only valid when printed with specific inks and viewed in specific lighting conditions. It's just like the tetrachromat example he gave in the video: your monitor and his camera don't have the capability of producing all of the colors your eyes can see, so it can't test accurately for deficiencies in your vision. Do not trust any online color test. If you are concerned because you failed a color test online, go to a real doctor.
BrightBlueJim I saw an 8 lol
Uhm, isn't it as simple as that you're supposed to see the the number if you have normal color vision?
Not quite that simple. For some of the plates, you will see one number if you have the deficiency that plate is testing for, or a different number if you don't. And then there are some with squiggly lines.
IIRC People with normal vision will see most of the number, but several important dots will not appear as part of the number because they can correctly differentiate the color is different on those dots than the rest of the dots that make up the number. People with the specific type of colorblindness see the entire number with no missing dots.

I remember in 11th grade, my creative writing teacher was fighting a student so hard because she believed the perception of the dress was based on your mood.

If you can only get tested for tetrachromacy in a lab, there are probably lots of tetrochromats who don't even know that they're tetrochromats.
Absolutely. I am still not certain if I am teteachromatic or not, but my colour perception was employed by my coworkers in the 1990s.
I just learned why bug zappers used to look different to me as a child when I wore glasses vs. when I wasn’t! I had my lens removed from my eye as an infant, (cataracts) and my glasses had a UV protective coating. Thank you for solving that mystery for me.
I was an eye specialist for part of my time in the army. All the candidates for pilot positions needed to be tested for color blindness (even the females even though they never fail). What always blew my mind is everyone who fails the test does not think they are color blind, they had no idea. They thought I was messing with them when I said no there really is a number on this slide. I felt bad having to fail somone on that test but lives depend on you seeing correctly through optics. Also on the PIP test there are slides which even the color blind can see ment as a control and one or two which have no number.
Testing women (afab) makes sense. Many intersex people don't know they are intersex.
Fun fact, Monet had very bad cataracts late in his life. He had the lens of one of his eyes removed. Because of this there are paintings at the end of his life that he made where he painted the exact same scene twice using only one of his eyes each time. The result being a bright and violet painting and the other being a dark and brown painting. But each of the exact same scenery.
14:51 Actually it is theoretically possible for a guy to be a tetrachromat, if he has Klinefelter syndrome, XXY but I don't know of any examples.
ah true!! good catch.
the chance of this is already pretty low and if you add the low chance of functional tetrachromacy there probably isn't one
@@itai7809 Yeah, and tetrachromats don't have the magical abilities many assume. They have the same red vs green and blue vs yellow channels so they don't see completely different colors, they just see more subtle variations.
@@johnalanelson A true tetrachromat which is extremely rare does have the circuitry in the brain to see color shifts and things like fringes on the edges of shadows. That is pretty magical and would be great for an artist. I am a tetrachromat and what it does for you is allow you to mix paint so it matches exactly. I am going to be painting my house interior white and I had to do a lot of research to find the paints with the highest light reflection value (LRV) because what is called white by paint companies is usually light gray, blue , green, yellow, pink, you name it which is really irritating.

@@a_diamond The Blackcurrant plant can harbor a fungus known as White Pine Blister Rust which is fatal to American White Pine trees (since Blackcurrant is native to Eurasia and the tree has not evolved any defenses against the fungus). So in America, blackcurrant was banned in an attempt to manage and prevent the spread of the fungus.
How have you heard it?
@@a_diamond Technically, you can. It's only the Black Currant bushes that are banned in the USA and only in certain areas IIRC. You can hop on Amazon in the states right now and get black currants or all sorts of black currant products. They're just not common here because of that long-standing restriction from a long time ago. Black currants just weren't widely available and thus never became popular. That's why any purple colored candy you come across in the states will likely be a grape flavor (or some sickly artificial version thereof)

I'm a tetrachoromat. I found out when I was getting my eyes tested while I was at Mayo clinic. They were worried I had brain damage, and eye damage from my illness. I would only describe it as having a really useless annoying superpower- the ability to tell colors only slightly differently. It will drive you crazy because you can look at shirts in the same rack, and it will all look slightly different just because of the dye mixed differently, but most people don't notice. I gave up on trying to match my clothes because even when they are say, black, they all appear to have a different undertone- sometimes blue, sometimes green. Skin color on people is pretty interesting though, because of the subtle undertones of their skin. My husband is red/green colorblind, and it drives me crazy when he says something is green when it's not green. Course I drive him crazy when I tell him something is 'blue black' or 'green black' or 'lavender white'.
You must really be one if you can see many subtle undertones in skin
Nulin22 you can start to notice that yourself if you’re a trichromatic too I believe. I think the easiest to start is with people with high amounts of melanin aka black people lol as a black person, I see different undertones: red, “orange”, yellow, blues, and even violet(?) aka purple (it’s really a deeper blue in context of the video I assume). With white people I’ve seen green before but they must’ve just had bad skin 😂 i was a kid I saw that too so maybe they ate a crayon or something haha but I have seen it as an adult. I think when I see green on pale skin is because of the veins and arteries tho... it’s harder to see it on camera or on video but definitely in person if you really open yourself to notice it. But like in my family, my sister has more yellow undertones and I have yellow and red undertones but we’re both light skin... it’s very weird.
Micah Cook I think the best way is to see how fast you can do the 100 hue test from colormunki, a techrachromat can probably get a perfect score in 10 minutes.
Micah Cook I noticed that pale skin people mostly have many different pink undertones, yellows, blues, browns, lavenders, purples, and more.
I can see just as large of a rainbow on any skin color.

So when you started talking about Deuteranopia, the video didn't look normal at all but I definitely saw a 2. And then I took a test that says I've got mild protanopia, but the blue-yellow colorblind part of the video looked the closest to normal. I don't know what to make of this. And I'm related to a few colorblind women!
Damn! What a way to find out you are colorblind. Sorry to hear about that.
I can see the 2 as well, I'm colour blind!?
It doesn't seem to be worded well he says if you see a "2" you're colorblind but I suspect he means the opposite because I see 2 and I'm pretty sure I'm not colorblind
Or you just have deuteranopia. It's relatively mild color-blindness.
I'm full colorblind and didn't see anything there.
Don't worry, he messed up the script. I saw a 2 as well, and I know I have normal color vision.
Those tests are meant to identify a LACK of ability to discriminate between colors. Being ABLE to see the number (other than if it's the wrong number) indicates your vision is normal... at least with respect to that test.
He's kind of an idiot and very arrogant. Tons of factual errors in this video.

There is a famous series of kids detective novels in my country that did a take on tetrachromacy once. Basically, there was a failed artist who made paintings that looked plain yellow to any "normal" person but a tetrachromat would be able to notice the hidden messages on them since they were in a slightly different shade of yellow. That could still work, right?

My go to was eggplant, but also lavender, lilac, fuscia, violet (and dozens of other kind of flowers,) Siamese fighting fish, a bunch of kinds of exotic birds... I'm not sure your point here.
Yes its not a monospectral color because it requires blending, but it *is* a color because it's perceived as one. Just because most of the colors we see on a regular basis can be substituted with single frequency colored light doesn't mean that's what is actually being reflected to our eyes. We could look at something and go, "oh it's yellow!" either because it's reflecting monospectral yellow, or because it's actually reflecting green and red, but in the later case such a color is "not" yellow in the same way you're insisting purple "isn't" a color.
In reality nothing inherently "has" color, because color experience is a mental phenomenon. Thus any "color" is "real" if it has been perceived.
Nah all of those things are either spicy blue or cold red.
Deny the purple, reach for the truth.

Ah, the moment when a science argument becomes a philosophy argument.
Purple does exist in nature, it's just rare because it's harder to produce biologically. Anthocyanin is the compound that allows plants to produce purple pigment, it also changes color with PH, that's why when you crush certain berries with your hands they will stain your hands with a different color from the original color of the berry or appear almost black once dry.

@@seanothepop4638 if you're talking about the yellows: nope, they're definitely different. One is #FDF200 the second one is #FCF600
One of the best explanations I've seen on this subject. My color vision has the normal human range of colors, however being a serious photographer with a darkroom, I got trained in into discerning color differences. I can see 40 differences in that crappy and less than 8 bit image you shown. Sometimes it takes training. I'm also do electronic repair and during my military training those who have color blindness cannot take the course. There were color coding on the wires and components representing the numbers 0-9. I can distinguish violet from blue and purple/magenta. Violet is the narrow wavelength pass band while purple/magenta is the mix. I was taught that in my high school photography and physics classes. Women do have a sharper perception of color. Some may be the X in the 23 or hormonal. Anecdotal evidence with fellows who took estrogen for gender dysphoria or testicular and prostate cancers noticed the color perception changes. Myself included with the extension further in the violet. I used spectroscopes, K-line calcium filter on the sun and diffraction gratings to test this on and then off of the estrogen. The K-line narrow band violet solar filter image through a solar telescope with detail was seen by the most of the women and girls and some young men and some boys present at a showing. The older men and others with the difficulty saw nothing or a dim disk with no detail. Me being off of the stuff, the K-line is now dull. This happened within 3 weeks off of E.
"I can see 40 differences in that crappy and less than 8 bit image you shown."
Honestly, this has more to do with your screen's ability to show similar colors. If you have relatively normal vision and can't see at least around like, 35 colors, your screen is probably just banding pretty badly.

How's that going?
Fun fact about me, I was born super early so my eyes were under developed. I was classified legally blind at birth but through corrective lenses and surgery I can now see well with glasses and still poorly but well enough without them. I also have an issue with light brightness (if its bright out I cant see shit, if it's dark out I can see shit), and differentiating browns from each other (the only time this is usually in issue is with shows shot dimly, video games with a very brown color scale, or paintings with lots of brown). There are some shades of brown I literally cannot tell apart from one another.

I've only seen it as a pale blue with muddy gold. So basically the way you describe it. I would like to know what video that was though (I haven't seen it & have only happened across a couple of references to the blue/brown combo being seen at all.)
^ Same. I see it as pale blue and muddy gold.
I posted a large comment about this but basically if you see it as black and blue it's because you either knew it was black and blue to start with or you have a more intuitive sense of how light effects color.
The pixels are dim bluish white and dingy brown.
So if you see it as "white and gold" you're talking about the image that you're seeing. If you see it as "blue and black" your brain is at the very least doing a bit of gymnastics to reach a more correct answer.
Like he said it has nothing to do with your eyes. Everything to do with your brain.

Like I'm not saying you're wrong that our version of purple isn't like. Idk an approximation or whatever, but. I would have liked an explanation for all the purple plants everywhere if it apparently doesn't exist...
i thought that too
I was thinking of all the purple potato and eggplant I've had.
Those purple flowers actually have red and blue pigments mixed together.
Also vetch and some thistles. Not saying they aren't mixed to get there but the appearance is there color is there. I believe blue is more rare in naturally occurring vegetation than purple. But flowers colors are meant to be seen by insects and birds and not us so there are ultraviolet bits in them too. Veritasium/physics girl did cool videos on it.
Thats a fun story and all, but the facts is that those plants ain't purple. From my seconds of online research, I have discovered that so-called "purple" plants are plants that contain more anthocyanin than chlorophyll. They just absorb green light better than chlorophyll does, so they shoot red and blue light back into our eyes, which, as said by Mr. Video Man, our brain then perceives as purple. Your point that there exists plants that our brain says our eyes say is purple, doesn't mean that purple is actually happening in nature.

In my opinion, purple is either just weird blue or weird red.
God, 7 year old me would be so offended by what I just said, I loved purple a lot back then
I think there's a particular opinion that violet and purple aren't the same thing, because purple (not referring to our perception of a color) isn't a light wavelength that can be reflected. Which is the only way you can really justify saying that... because violets are... well, violet. Which to normal people means they are purple. You essentially have to be in the camp that doesn't think a kajillion different colors exist in nature, because you classify them as degrees of already existing colors. So to those people, colors like 'lime green' or 'periwinkle' or 'burnt umber' or 'cerulean' don't exist in nature from a scientific perspective. And purple is in that same category as all of those color combinations that don't have their own light wavelength or something. I'm not an expert, and really bad at explaining so I would take this with a massive spoonful of salt and do your own research but yeah. That's basically how I understand that.
Dumbledoresarmy13 So orange doesn't technically exist either?

I thought of amethyst.
IndoDINO RUclips ultraviolet rays exist so amethyst is more a violet. It’s a crystal anyway too but I don’t know how the light makes it violet. If you look at uvlights you’ll notice a lot in nature is giving off that color than our standard rich purple. I believe our context for true purple has some more reds or blues to it.
Dude, there are purple flowers. There are purple plants. Purple happens in nature, it's not a grape conspiracy.

I was sent to the principal's office in 3rd grade because I defended a friend who got into trouble for coloring a picture of our teacher, using a green crayola to color her hair. She thought it was an act of insurrection by a 9 yeat old Fidel Castro. And I played the part of Che Guevera. She didnt believe either of us. When I got home , crying and sure I was going to be disciplined, I had to explain my friends color blindness to my father. He listened to my sobs and my story. And patted my head with a smile and congratulated me for defending a friend. I believe that day my father grew 2 feet taller and became my hero. A call from my father to the school the next day and both me and my friend were given a very tepid, half assed apology by the teacher.

People saw it as gold and white because it was lit terribly and the camera is bad.
My solution to that connundrum was to look at the pixels.
And they weren't dark blue and black. They were a dim bluish white and a dingy brown.
Honestly if you see that picture as a black and blue dress, it's because your mind is taking a second longer to process what you're looking at. Your brain is taking a second to correct for the image's terrible lighting.
And if you see it as white and gold you're not. You're looking at the pixels and not seeing any black at all. Your brain isn't factoring in the light the way some other people might. You might not recognized that the image is terribly lit, in which case your mind doesn't do the work to extrapolate what the actual colors might be.
The Image is white and gold (closer to a dim light blue and dingy brown as I said before), the dress is black and blue.
It certainly has nothing to do with your eyes.
Interesting idea, and probably right. I know I can see the full spectrum, never had any color blindness related troubles, but this dress is white and gold to me. There was one time when I saw it with a different light and suddenly I saw it as blue and black, but the original picture didn't leave any doubt when I first saw it.
Poorly lit photos don’t usually result in major color changes like that.
I’m convinced that they were in fact two different dresses. Only way I would know for certain that it’s different perceptions of the same photo, is if someone prints it off and I see it still as the white and gold, and someone looking at the photo that claims it is different is looking at the same photo.
This is why it’s hard to measure people’s perceptions. Because no two individuals perceive the world in the same way

15:10 Woah! It looks like we stumbled upon the same science articles given my video mentioning that particular subject. Cool!
Firmware is a type of software.
t, professional programmer
I'd say its more of a physical driver issue.
My eye doctor told me I had an unusually wide color spectrum when I was fifteen. The more I learn about people who can actually see outside the normal spectrum the more I am convinced I either wasn’t paying attention to what he actually told me or I was lied to. Probably the former. I am really good at identifying slight differences in color though.
The “purple party filter” is actually a secondary emision line of the UV phosphor used in black lights. Over 90% of the light emitted actually falls in the UVA spectrum. It’s ultraviolet in the sense that its too short of a wavelength to see, but too long to be ionizing.
Since I had my injured lens removed and replaced with a implant everything is brighter and a little washed out in that eye. Kind of like how harsh fluorescent lighting can be.
The UV thing sounds extremely awesome omfg
That, however, is not true UV vision, according to scientists, it's still nothing like a bird or a female human who is a true tetrachromat.
Too funny - while you're talking, behind your shoulder, Mona is still smiling at me.
I've never been able to get a good answer about my eyes, not even from an optometrist. When it's really sunny outside, everything looks blueish/violet gray out of my right eye, but vividly colorful out of my left eye. I have a slight astigmatism, my left eye is -0.25(nearsighted) and my right eye is +0.50(farsighted). I've always wondered if it's because the different shapes are stretching the wavelength of light so that I'm being blinded by ultraviolet in my right eye. One sees really well far away and the other up close, so I have 20/16, but it gives me headaches by the end of the because one is always struggling to focus.
Nope. That isn’t how that works. The cornea absorbs UV C and the lens absorbs UV B. (The retina absorbs UV A which is why you still should avoid looking directly at the sun or arc weld with the right mask.) Those would be blocked from hitting the light-sensitive retina evenly between your eyes regardless of nearsightedness/farsightedness. If you are concerned about the difference in colors between your eyes in certain lighting conditions, it is most likely due to a defect in the lens (aka a cataract) which may scatter certain wavelengths unevenly, or a defect in optic nerve due to some type of damage which may have occurred along time ago. Also, if you are having trouble with headaches/eye strain at the end of the day, start by wearing your glasses or contacts the whole day (that you are awake) for a week or two. If it doesn’t help, you probably have an eye muscle issue that can usually be help with vision therapy, which is similar to physical therapy but for your eyes. Also, because it is a pet peeve, having astigmatism is basically insignificant in almost every case and really truly is not bad nor does it make you special.
Some people do have different color perception between their eyes. Perhaps you have something else going on like being a chimera where the cells in one eye are genetically different than the other eye. It's rare, but it happens. An opthalmologist (eye doctor/surgeon) might be able to answer your questions.
"I've always wondered if it's because the different shapes are stretching the wavelength of light" well clearly you have no idea what you're talking about. we know that for sure

Dude, black currants are _not_ illegal in the US. They were banned once upon a time, but were allowed back early in this century.
There's no federal law banning Black Currants since 1966, but many states have kept it illegal. It's partly or completely illegal in 11 states.
Why are they illegal? This all sounds pretty inhumane.
@@captainhoratiobungleiii7147 'Blackcurrants were once popular in the United States as well, but became less common in the 20th century after currant farming was banned in the early 1900s, when blackcurrants, as a vector of white pine blister rust, were considered a threat to the U.S. logging industry.'...

@@likantropb1948 thanks, that makes sense. Still very sad though 😥
At one time I ran a number of vision tests at work and noticed that about 1/4 of the men had issues with the "what do you see" tests. Stuff that just leaped out to me had them scowling and staring, and eventually reaching out with a finger to trace the correct shape. They could see it, but it was difficult. They also had issues with differentiating similar colors from each other.
It was then that I realized that a lot of my arguments with people over the years about what color something was was "we're both right."
Really enjoyed this one. It's interesting how people can take in color in so many ways.
I have heard that you can get better at detecting differences in colors; another potential reason that spectrum test doesn't work. It has been years since I read whatever article that was, but it was pointing at graphic designers as people that tend to get better due to their need to put that skill to use.
+Cars Simplified That certainly seems plausible.
I know I'm late to the party but I did notice the line between the two yellows colors and did notice the that green as added before he mentioned it. Being male I'm positive I'm not tetrachromatic but I do do graphic design as a hobby. It seems my anecdote would support this being the case.
Metal Same here 🤔
Makes sense I am an artist of sorts and I had no trouble distinguishing between the two yellows.
I know I’m late to the party but as a guy who has fiddled with minor variations of color (mostly things like the difference between 0x888888 and 0xAAAAAA) I was able to distinguish the different yellows side by side. It definitely seems like practicing color differentiation helps improve your ability to perform color differentiation, the same way that practice improves any other activity.
I have a friend that is color blind and just recently found out from him that there is more than one type of color blindness. I had no idea about that. This really helped educate me. Thank you! I have another friend with a color blind son and they recently got those glasses for him. It was a very emotional experience for the whole family when he saw the world in "full color" for the first time.
Wait, what's this recently found colorblindness? I'm just *curious* 🧐 . Does it have a name or could you explain it a bit further?
There are a few variations with some sub-variation. A Google search provided me with protanomaly, protanopia, tritanomaly, tritanopia and monochromacy.

I could spot the difference between the two yellows. It's interesting except for what you mentioned just before that about that we can't do any online test to know because it's all pixels.
For the dress, I first said it was black and blue, but after a bunch of arguing over it, I sat and considered to intentionally look at it as white and gold and I could see it. I think it's more of a mental perspective shift because of the lighting. I could see it as both.
4:27 You can see the 2 even if you have "normal" color vision. The gray(?) dots kinda stand out and the only number they can form is a 2.
Good Because I saw a 2 lol
I read at one point that a good number of bird species do have a fourth cone and can see somewhat past the wavelength we call violet, although some birds see farther into the ultraviolet range than others. Apparently some birds that look drab to us (and to most predators) actually look vibrant to potential mates because some of their feathers reflect ultraviolet. I read something like that about bees and certain ultraviolet-colored flowers as well.
It's been long enough since I looked into it that I'm taking even my own words with a grain of salt, but it does seem like there are animals out there that get more use out of being tetrachromats, because their fourth cone isn't as redundant as a human's yellow cone!
4:24 I can see a 2 and I can see green like any other human...
Yeah, after twenty minutes of random online tests, I can say that I'm not colourblind at all, but I can see the two.
... I saw an 8.

Bottle o' Bleach Same here!
What you're seeing is a cascade of errors. First, the test card he's showing probably isn't an actual card from an Ishahara color test set, but one printed on a computer printer with its inaccurate inks. This was then photographed with his camera, which has inaccurate color filters on its sensor, in a room lit by lights that are probably not continuous spectrum lights. Then it got h.264 encoded to be put online, which limits the colors. Then you watched it on your computer monitor, with its inaccurate color filters, backlit by either LEDs or cold-cathode fluorescent tubes that have their own spectrum deficiencies, in a room also lit by non-continuous-spectrum light sources. It's almost a miracle that ANYBODY sees the correct pattern. And by the way, NO online test can accurately diagnose color deficiencies, for the reasons already given.
BrightBlueJim OK, thank you.
14:53 What about intersex males, with Klinefelter syndrome that makes males have 2 or more X chromosomes? Could they be tetrachromats?
Don't know but even if it was, what are the chances?
The chances of having both klinefelter syndrome and tetrachromacy are obviously tiny, but in theory, yes.
That’s not intersex though all people with Klinefelter syndrome are all males
I would say yes, but then all of sudden half the RUclips comments will be people claiming that they are XXY and tetrochromats just to feel special
Oh, and they're autistic too, so that means you can't question anything they say, and they're actually way more creative and profound than you.
Great video. You can also train your brain to come more aware of the real colors you're seeing. This is typically something artist learn, and become more hone over time. I've looked at the world very differently since getting an art degree. I see the world as hues, shades, tints, gradient, patterns, variations of light, etc.
I always knew that I could distinguish between subtle shades of colors. I also read that if you saw white and gold or blue and black, it was because of the screen you were looking through. From your examples I believe I'm a tetrachromat and I'm a female. I've had men in my life that, I don't believe they were color blind, didn't see colors the same as me. I chocked it up to male and a lack of interest.
@Sigma Chad It's not an illness. I was an art student when I was younger and always saw the subtle differences in subtle shades of color. I continued seeing the differences and never thought anything of it. I still don't since my close vision has deteriorated with age. Hopefully, I will be able to afford a new pair of glasses next year because it's hard to see clearly when your vision is blurry.

I'm pretty sure there's a kind of Mediterranean sea slug or snail or something which makes a purple substance that gets turned into a purple dye (Tyranian purple or something like that?). And, of course, iridescence often creates purple hues. But aside from that...yeah, the closest I can think of are some deep reds.
I have always had an uncanny ability to differentiate between similar colors. It's honestly more of an annoyance than anything. People wear clothes that are close enough to pass but the slightest difference in color drives me mad.
Now this guy is trying to tell me purple doesnt exist!
Eggplants, blueberries, purple flowers, and some types of snails are all purple
Violet and purple aren't the same thing. Violet IS a real "colour" in nature, or more accurately, it's a real wavelength of light on the light spectrum.
But if we could "truly perceive" it (if such a thing is even conceptually accurate to postulate), you can be sure it wouldn't look like a mixture of red and blue (which is what our conception of "purple" is... erroneously.) Violet would be its own separate colour rather than a combination of two lower frequency colours.
IMO the best way to visualise the colours as they TRULY are, is to look at the spatial distance of their wavelengths, or perhaps to translate them into sound and hear them represented through their frequency of sound instead.
Trying to think of an analogy:
On an A scale on a Piano, let's suppose Red is A, Orange is B, Yellow is C, Green is D Blue is E, and Violet is F.
In physical reality:
- You just rise up the scale and hear each note frequency as it truly is. And those are the true colours.
In our mind however:
- Red would be a note of A
- Yellow wouldn't be a note of C, it would be a chord of A+D instead. Because we don't have a Yellow cone that is shaped to hear that "C note" (but a tetrochromat WOULD be able to distinguish between an A+D chord and a C Note due to their extra yellow cone)
- The same is true of Violet. We wouldn't be able to hear the "F note", instead we'd hear a chord of A+E because we don't have a Violet cone. However, unlike with yellow which is perceived as an average between Red and Green... Violet ISN'T an average between Blue and Red, it's a higher note than both. So the chord of A+E doesn't really work the same way as it did with yellow. Basically... tl;dr: Purple is a colour that doesn't exist in nature. It's not part of the colour spectrum, it's just our brain trying to do our best to process visual information using the tools available to it.
Your music analogy doesn’t work. Human hearing has one device that detects sound from 20hz to 20000hz. The human eye has three devices that each only detect a very narrow range of wavelengths, even combined the range of detection is orders of magnitude smaller than hearing. From between 400 to 700nm. An octave is the doubling of frequency (hz) between two sounds. Human vision cannot see even one ‘octave’!
Combining a low pitched sound with a middle pitch sound does not create the audible equivalent of ‘yellow’; it doesn’t even create the sensation of pitch in between low and middle pitch. When you combine multiple pitches you get chords, not new pitches. Colour and sound are not analogous to each other, they are fundamentally different.

On a lighter note, I'm sorry you don't have any blackcurrant. It's really nice, and great in Ribena.

What about XXY syndrome people though, could they have 4 cones?

the y chromosome does not code for cones and it could be said that the people who thought that the dress was white and gold had malfunctioning color constancy because they weren't able to see the actual colors
So I just saw a two and am starting to feel that my whole life is a lie
