Is that apple in your hand really red? Or is it another color? Or is it even a color? On this StarTalk explainer video, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice are exploring how we see colors.
Neil settles the “blue dress vs. gold dress” debate that took the internet by storm a few years back. We reflect on the relationship between scientific advancements and our physiological senses. You’ll learn why things are different colors. We discuss white light.
Neil explains why, if you’re holding a red apple in your hand, the apple is not actually red. What happens if you take a red apple up to a light that has no red in it? What color would the apple be? All that, plus, we talk about “dark adaptation” and how it impacts the way we see colors in the dark.

I admire Neil's ability to communicate concepts, but I also love exploring ideas from deeper perspectives. In this case I really wanted to address a few misconceptions that might arise from his explanation. When he talks about color (e.g. apple, dress) - the concept is very subjective and is entirely made inside every one of our brains. It has no “physical reality”. This is very different from the scientific concept of spectrum that he is trying to convey which refers to the frequency of light spectrum. The dress color and the idea of apple being red are all perceptions formed inside our primary visual cortex and are interpreted entirely differently by each and every human being on Earth. People that are color blind will obviously perceive said apple or dress differently, as will people from entirely different cultures to your own. There are countless psychological experiments that show that for example growing up in an Amazonian tribe vs a cosmopolitan city will result in an entirely different primary cortex that’s able to interpret shades of green that a city dweller cannot see. At the same time, the color constancy (relevant psychological concept) means that we also tend to use secondary cortices in our brain to create a kind of a bias toward seeing certain things certain way. Meaning that even under a different light our brains may interpret the apple as red, even though no actual “spectrum” is sent into the eye. All of these color concepts are difficult to explain without taking the study of perception into consideration, so I find it’s best to explain things one at a time because this is a lot more complex than “white and black” for the lack of better pun.

He acknowledged that people see colors differently and that it's an individual perception. He said "I don't care what your rods and cones are doing" and wanted to focus scientifically on how color comes to our eyes, but yes, it would be very interesting to have him go into how we actually perceive color, as I am quite colorblind myself. I also wish the other guy could actually keep up with simple concepts.

@@thenbwkmtkspktrminc.4613 Frequency defines color. Not wavelength. Wavelength varies when light enters optically dense media, and therefore changes speeds. Same is true for waves in general when changing speeds. Wavelength changes when speed changes, while frequency remains constant and defines the information carried by the wave. 700 nanometer Red light decreases in wavelength by 25% when it transitions from air to water, but it doesn't become green just because it is now 525 nanometers. Its frequency remains 430THz, and it remains red light. However, there is a limit as to how high we can measure frequency directly. This is why radio waves are identified by frequency, but visible light colors, UV light, and X-rays are commonly identified by wavelength. Measuring wavelength is used as a proxy to measure frequency. We mean vacuum wavelength if we don't otherwise specify the medium of EM waves.

Thank you so much for this important talk! I'd love more of these. At first glance I was like, 'Only Neil could get this into 16 minutes and make it clear, but I need to know how he did it!' So, I'm glad that you didn't because, yeah, it's just not a simple thing to grasp, let alone truly understand right away. I'm working on a special project that basically combines Visual Art and Quantum Physics to discuss consciousness, so the more of these the better! Like, my reference Playlist must have 20 of your videos on it and, so far, the only one I have to turn away right now is utilizing neutrinos because I really have a hard time grasping that one. It's not eliminated, just put to the side until I can grasp it better. It is very accurate to say visual artists get a bit freaked by color theory the first time they put it into practice, especially if that person was more conditioned through STEM education their whole life, but mostly because it requires multiple- often contrasting -ways of understanding light & color, contradictory to what one has always been taught. It's why you revert back to kindergarten and start off with the color wheel in Visual & some Performing Arts studies, because that's how long we've all been taught wrong about light & color. Honestly and surprisingly, I felt worse for the more science based students though. For Visual Arts students this talk is basically freshman year week 1, chapter 1 of Intro into Visual Art, often called Art Fundamentals. The advanced science students who took that course because someone told them it was "easy like middle school art class" often struggled far more, particularly when it came time to address this issue and put it into practice with lighting and/or pigments. Psychology students did better in grasping the concepts, but often over analyzed when it came to practice. Both needed a bit of reprogramming outside of their own areas of study which try to hold things like light & color as types of absolutes due to matters of measurement(they'll say things like "color is waves" and that works just fine in their respective areas, sometimes, but early in Visual Art you need to get more clarity right away by realizing color=light=photons=energy which happens to have wave - like behavior based on how much energy it stores, so far as we can perceive it, and our perception filter is a big issue when it comes to quantum areas like light). However, all acknowledged that what truly blew our minds was how invalued Art education has become compared to sciences yet this kind of understanding is introductory level for Visual Arts but it is an advanced course in their areas. We tend to use the term "greyscale" when talking about the "black apple" issue though, because of that molecular surface. Yeah "black" isn't inaccurate but remembering how that molecular surface structure is indeed varied and absorbs or reflects/refracts, you'll see several blacks because it won't take away the objects original dimension, just its perception of color value, hence "greyscale". This is important in realistic renderings to understand how it takes all colors to make one but color & value itself are dependent on light amount & source, then translating the type of light color theory into pigment color theory for rendering. Plus, for some who have difficulty holding contrasting ideas, referencing "black" can suddenly make their mind turn a 3d object into something flat & 2D or 1D. There's something about the term "greyscale" that just leaves space in their minds so the mind doesn't shut it out or misinterpret the difference between all or absence of color in white & black. It definately helped the psych students get that grasp. Technical Theatre is really the best subject for teaching this in a practical 'don't just know it, make it happen' way. No matter what technical department you are in, you will need to grasp multiple ways of 'understanding' & 'executing' light & color theory. This is where it can get far more 'real' to the mind when it comes to getting used to knowing white or black as the absence of light, not of color, and ultimately makes things simpler. It's where you learn that Coca-Cola can trick of the eye and how to make it happen intentionally for design & effects. And I'm so sorry to do this, I'm not trying to break anyone, but black apples do exist now. I've never had the privilege to try one since they are not hardy to my area and don't preserve well to travel here, but they do exist and I hear tell they are delicious. Please don't write off the black apple. Give it a chance.

Funniest episode ever. And Chuck is a great foil, because he is expressing the difficulty we all have with the concept. We all know white light contains all the colors, and we all know surfaces absorb all colors except the ones they reflect, but to use those two data points is still a leap of logic that's tasking.

it's pretty easy to understand this concept as the light our eyes are seeing is the colors that are reflected and not absorbed by any given object

9:00 about the sodium lamps, they are still very much in use in indoor grow houses to simulate the "summer sun", they are called HPS (high pressure sodium) lamps. they have on the other side a metal halide lamp that emits more in the blue spectrum simulating the "winter sun" (MH lamps) but they are both being taken over by LED systems as the prices drop.

Question: 3D, red and blue glasses I wore for about 3 hours when I was a kid may have messed up my eye sight. My right eye sees more in the red shade and my left eye sees more blue shade. My right eye (red shade) sees yellowish-green (sickly-looking) grass and leaves, also, reading is blurry at all distances, where my left eye (blue shade) sees "Kodak-color-treated", vibrant, green grass and leaves, also, reading is crystal-clear. Eye sight at night time is pretty good too, I might add. Which sides were the red and blue shades on the specific 3D glasses I wore?

I understood that point, but found it pretty moot. Because following that idea, what we call "being red" simply changes meaning to "reflecting the precise wavelength we identify as red". We do weirder things that we all commonly accept in language anyway! (Contradictions in idioms, descriptions, expressions, etc.)
