AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the perception of colors in a specific color chart, with participants noting discrepancies in how they see the last six colors. Some users initially struggled to identify these colors, attributing the issue to factors like browser settings, screen calibration, and lighting conditions. Several participants mentioned that adjusting their screen angle improved their ability to see the colors more vividly. There were also discussions about the potential impact of color blindness, with some confirming they do not have this condition. The conversation highlighted the sensitivity of laptop and flat panel displays to ambient light, which may affect color perception differently than CRT monitors.

Biology news on Phys.org
turquoise, green, blue, yellow, pink, beige

Maybe it's your browser or your computerscreen, the hues are REALLY subtle :smile:


OH wait! The colors are noted next to it :-p didn't see that, well, it seems they've got their blue en green mixed around.. seashell and icy pink are mixed around too.. tsk tsk..
 
I can see different colors, but their descriptions of the colors are wrong.
 
Odd, because I see, in order:

Lavender
blue
green
yellow
light beige
pink

exactly how described by the page.

Under what lighting conditions are you guys viewing your screen?
Right now for me it's incandescent lights. Or it could be the gamma setting for on your video.
 
Just in case, right click on your desktop background, click "properties," click the "settings" tab, and make sure your color depth is "32 bit."
 
Weird, the first and the last are indifferent

hm, it was set to 16 bit, but it's still the same with the 32 bit..
 
I couldn't see the last 6 colours at first glance either. But just a slight tilt of my laptop screen away from me and the 6 colours were reavealed!

That's funny, when I tilt my screen the green becomes blue and all the colors become really strong :O (colors are still mixed around though)

:eek: really? Do you have color blindness by any chance? http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Ishihara.html
Not in the least. I've always past every such tests with flying colors :wink:
Besides, just to be safe, I asked both my wife and daughter to double check me, and they both agreed that with the same colors I saw.

How many of you that see the colors differently are using laptops or flat panel displays? Their displays are sensitive to ambient light conditions which CRT monitors aren't.

The other colors are really off too, from the top it is:
navy green
light navy green
lilac
blue
grey
purple
grey navy green
tan
