[@BrightBlueJim]

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.

[@dashelrubin-stencel4009]

BrightBlueJim I saw an 8 lol

[@0x8badf00d]

Uhm, isn't it as simple as that you're supposed to see the the number if you have normal color vision?

[@BrightBlueJim]

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.

[@danlorett2184]

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.

Fun fact, Monet had very bad cataracts late in his life. He had the lens of one of his eyes removed.

The result being a bright and violet painting and the other being a dark and brown painting. But each of the exact same scenery.

[@tiad.9536]

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'.

[@HyHwua]

You must really be one if you can see many subtle undertones in skin

[@micahcook2408]

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.

"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.

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.

[@KingBobXVI]

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@nataliedecook188]

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.

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.

Poorly lit photos don’t usually result in major color changes like that. I’m convinced that they were in fact two different dresses.

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.

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.

[@s4098429]

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.

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!

​@@katheymann2334never argue with anyone that has "sigma", "alpha", "chad" or anything like that in their names

[@HOTD108_]

There are literally purple flowers in nature. Purple exists in nature, objectively.

[@timothymclean]

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.

[@admiralmudkip9836]

there's nothing like the feeling of him reveal a new kind of colorblindness, and having nothing change

[@odinlindeberg4624]

"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.

[@Skyluzz]

@@odinlindeberg4624 you saw too? I saw that two too another time when I saw this on Ishihara hidden plates

[@QuikVidGuy]

Hey, soda in the freezer for a half hour or less is PERFECTLY fine!

[@essentialpunk]

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.

[@Bhhbh-e8k]

Good Because I saw a 2 lol

[@piaopiaokeke]

About damn time. And as always, amazing video! And as for Wheatley, of course he would be British. What else would he be? :)

[@BrightBlueJim]

I think all talking TV animals are required to be British. I often wonder, when I'm not watching TV, but it's on in the background, why the Geico gecko is talking about TripAdvisor.

THANK YOU I FINALLY GET WHY MY DAD CANT SEE PURPLE

[@mikehawk9531]

As a brit your pronunciation of black currants is painful. Also wouldn't a natural purple be foxglove?

[@pookamonsta]

im american and it still bothers me how he says it. lol

[@LucifernXOX]

I immediatly thought eggplant

[@VariantAEC]

Wyatt Ezekiel Really? I thought of Orchids.

[@yogsothoth7594]

Foxglove is poisonous.

[@mysticm1561]

I thought of lavender.

[@joshua7551]

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.

[@kevingil1817]

Now this guy is trying to tell me purple doesnt exist!

[@Voltanaut]

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.

[@sonicknuckleswomble8927]

@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

[@Your.Master]

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.

[@SyrusRiggs]

I have black currant deodorant

[@Soitisisit]

Black kernt

[@jonathanshapiro6593]

4:27 Well, I can see the two, but the color change you made looks weird as heck...
