SUMMARY

This discussion centers on color perception and potential colorblindness, specifically using the color test available at http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/WhiteChart.html. Participants noted discrepancies in color descriptions and experienced variations in color visibility based on screen settings and lighting conditions. Key observations include the impact of display type (laptop vs. CRT) on color perception and the importance of ensuring a 32-bit color depth for accurate color representation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of color theory and color perception
  • Familiarity with color depth settings in operating systems
  • Knowledge of different display technologies (e.g., CRT vs. LCD)
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for display settings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of ambient light on color perception
  • Learn about color depth settings and their impact on display quality
  • Explore color vision deficiency tests, such as the Ishihara test
  • Investigate the differences between display technologies and their color accuracy
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for graphic designers, web developers, and anyone involved in visual media who needs to understand color perception and its implications on digital displays.

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
