    For best results on the red/cyan effect at 3:30, watch in HD at 60fps. I promise I didn't forget to edit in the red or the cyan frames. They're there. Also it will look more/less gray depending on the brightness of your screen.
    Try moving your mouse in front of the flashing colors. You'll get an interesting result! (thanks to +Ishank mahale for the suggestion.)

    It is interest to think, red and green light make us see yellow, but actual yellow light (split from a prism for example) also stimulates our red and green cones the same way and makes us see yellow, so you can't actually tell whether you are "seeing" yellow or red and green light together (unless you can get close enough to make out individual pigment cells like in a screen). For example is a banana reflecting actual yellow light or red and green light together, you can't know unless you know what the actual pigments are in a banana.

    Great video. If our eyes had receptors for more colors, then making LCD displays for computer monitors, TVs, and cell phones would be far more difficult. True yellow light is a different frequency of light, not a combination of the red frequency and green frequency. Fortunately for LCD manufacturers, our eyes can't tell the difference.

    • @JayDaMane59
      @JayDaMane59 8 лет назад +3

      It's because of the lighting in the picture that tricked your eyes.

    • @OreoKit3
      @OreoKit3 8 лет назад +7

      Slightly different. That had to do with how your eye perceived the lighting of the picture. It would adjust as it saw fit(you see the picture is deceiving because it has both really bright yellow areas and really dark purple areas) and the result would be messing with your perception of the color.

    • @tomdekler9280
      @tomdekler9280 8 лет назад +3

      It's somewhat related. In a room lit by a slightly blue tinted lamp, your brain can contextually tell you what objects in that room are red or yellow or blue. Same goes for a room with a bulb that is tinted yellow, which is fairly common in any household. I'm looking at a rainbow-colored artwork on my wall right now by the light of a yellow lightbulb and I can easily identify all the colors, even when some would look less orange/yellow to me in the broad daylight.
      In that dress picture, you can't see the context. You don't know if the room is light or dark. Ergo, your brain can look at it either way.

    At 3:30 It stayed red. I did some changes on the settings and found that it will switch between the two colors when I play the video at 720p60 or 1080p60. However, I only saw the red and cyan and did not see white. I downloaded the video at original resolution and played it on my computer. It looked like a medium gray rather than white.

    +Physics Girl - additional color mixing fact... For people who are extremely nearsighted & wear corrective glasses, digitally reproduced colors can start to "separate". I don't tend to notice it with yellow, but if I look at digital purple anywhere but dead center of my glasses, it very clearly separates into red & blue.
    Also, new-fangled headlights have a bright blue component that separates & produces a really weird pair of floating blue lights.

      @GraveUypo 9 лет назад +1

      +okBryan it works even if it flashes because of eye afterimage.
      also, if you're familiar with CRT monitors (you know, the big fat ones), you'd remeber 85hz is enough to end all flickering. but that's one image displayed 85 times a second, which means the "black" between frames is also displayed 85 times a second. So, since it's two image streams, to end all flickering, you'd need 85*2hz = 170hz. then again, the contrast is lower in this case than black vs white, so it probably needs a little bit less than that. it might look OK with "just" 120hz

      I wonder if this has to do with the speed capability of our graphics card/display. 1080 has to draw more pixels than 720, so it's harder for the display system to keep up. Both 1080 and 720 looks gray to me; probably because my system is slower than yours. Don't know...just a guess.

    The by far easiest way to learn how complimentary colors work is to use RGB values for five minutes. 255,255,255 is white, 0,0,0 is black, 150,150,150 is gray, 0,255,255 is cyan, 255,0,255 is yellow, and 255,255,0 is magenta.
    Since monitors (and computers) use only the three colors we have cones for, this leads to RGB being very intuitive after learning the basic concept of it.

    In graphic arts we refer to these differences as "transmitted" and "reflected" light. We scan to digital using transmitted light (red, green, blue) and print on a paper in reflective color (y,m,c,k).

    3:25, it didn't work. Maybe it wasn't switching fast enough? I could see both colors, maybe I also saw some white, but it certainly didn't look anything like just a white screen. I also saw some longer red streaks along the bottom.

    when the screen is changing from red to blue and creating white, turn your speed up to 2. all you will see is red, or blue and that only.

    • @nispelsm
      @nispelsm 7 лет назад +10

      That is because when you speed up the video, it actually skips every other frame of the video, instead of doubling the frame-rate of the video.

    • @dadarknezz
      @dadarknezz 7 лет назад +4

      Not entirely true. It doubles the framerate of the video, but the monitor got a max of 60 FPS. I got a 144 Hz monitor, and it worked a lot better when i doubled the speed :)

    It gets so much stranger with impossible colors, where the brain ends up not merging them to white, but instead mixes them in a completely different way.

    • @stoferb876
      @stoferb876 2 года назад

      Violet, or purple is interesting, because the red cones in your eyes have a little extra bump of sensitivity in the near ultraviolet range too aswell as in the yellow-red range. That's why blue and red mixed together appear as purple even though if it was using the same brain-calculations and that extra bump of sensitivty wasn't there it would have appeared as green instead.

    3:30 only works if you choose 60 fps, which happens to be only on 720p and 1080p. Otherwise RUclips doesn't show you the even frames, which are cyan, so you see only red. If the video was 30 fps, it would have kind of worked for every resolution, but worse because there's less frames, so the colors switch at half the speed. That's why this video is 60 fps. I wouldn't mind all videos being 60 fps to be honest. 60 fps is really smooth.
