- What is color constancy and how does it trick our brain into seeing colors that aren't really there? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez and neuroscientist David Eagleman use ambiguous photographs and giant props to explain light, color and the science of illusions.

what color are the strawberries?
-They're red.
Well acutally they are gray. Let me explain.
-This is why you don't get invited anywhere, John.
So colors look different in different light? I been known that.
They are dark turquoise according to my phone drawing app.
I see gray

@@DefundTheFringes I understand that you want that to be true, but it's not. Even on the *page you yourself linked* you can download the image, pull out the grey section that appears red, and turn up the saturation in a graphics program. It will show as blue. There is no red.

they’re just aggressively agreeing with each other and i’m living for it
Everyone: red
Me: cyan
What it actually is: gray
It's actually cyan. Took it in photoshop and took a sample of the colors. The colors of the strawberries are somewhere in between saturated cyan and complete grey... sooo... grey-ish cyan :|

“it’s gray and teal”
“it’s pink and white”
“it’s gray and SEA FOAM GREEN”
teal sea foam green same thing..she just called it that or maybe her teal is slightly less dark then ours due to her brain or eyes..who knows...but I love how the guy with glasses thus must have eye problems or cortext brain issues with his vision said white and pink while I a normal seeing person saw grey and teal....genius..smdh that tells me all I need to know about this experiment and who sees the wrong color..my sister also needs glasses and also sees white and pink..basically if you have bad vision drink a lot have a messed up brain your going to see the wrong colors..its just facts
Asmosis Jones um thanks for your detailed explanation but i don’t think you can “see wrong colors” for optical illusions?? cuz there are no “right colors” to begin with? and are you saying that your sister has bad vision, is an alcoholic, and has a messed up brain?
She's not wrong tho. Sea foam green is sorted unspokenly agreed to be one shade, whereas teal is widely disagreed upon- I believe teal to be a dark blue green shade like malachite, and others say it's more of a turquoise, and still yet others say it's more of a pasty cyan shade. That's why colors are so annoying- its subjective
@@razkable I have glasses and saw as grey and teal, I think its purely down to the variation in settings different peoples have in their brains for colours
People saying teal and sea foam green is the same color, please leave.
Is that me or any body else feel like those objects he is saying red are actually pink 4:27
Actually it is red, as pink is a lighter shade of red in the spectrum of colours.😉
@@blues227 but we differentiate red and pink we don’t usually call pink red. To me they look more pink also I wouldn’t usually call them red even though they’re on the same spectrum.
@@mikemikemikemikemikemeup it's okay if ya think so, everyone has the right to keep their opinion. No worries;)
Pink is actually a tint of red. It is a mix of red and white.

oof

funny because i actually saw the real grey colour that time
mintyglitches oof
My thoughts exactly aha
pink is a tint of red. Light orange is still orange.
Actual that was not pink it was red and blue =magenda
I don't know about the rest of you, but dem 'paper strawberries' were definitely pink... ¬_¬;
Twist3dLogic thankyou ffs
Your right they are pink
Yup. They are pink to me.
It looked grey for me
Pink is technically a tint of red 🤷♂️ it’s “light red”

Same
I’ve noticed this a lot when making digital art. A lot of times the color grey can look like any color depending on what other colors are around it.
Yes same!!!
It also depends on if there is a very minute slight tint to the grey.
Yes, same here, i make digital art too
Yea, they are cheating with the one shown in the video. There is a reddish tint to it if you zoom in on it, even if you cut out small bits to put them out of the context, it still shows the red tint. @@shadowkissed2370
For me the strawberries look grey
But it’s probably because I’m colourblind
Tardis280 Because thats what we colorblinds are good at. Every color that is off, comes out as grey.
@@kk7420 How have you reached that conclusion?
@@kk7420 Sorry, I don't understand the relevance of that.
The strawberry’s where red for me but when he put the thing on the camera and showed the red objects they looked grey for me
I’m not color blind but I still see it as grey
I’m not convinced. I think those strawberries are really red
These people are liars
If you really need to be convinced, take a screen shot, paste the image into Paint, clone the color with the dropper, and you’ll see that is grey.
Idk why but I see them as grey!!!
It looks red but when I use some photo editing thing it's actually gray
As an artist it always boggles my mind how sometimes when you make the background color Grey but in the cooler side in the palette obviously you would choose a cool toned drawing especially for skin and when the background was more on the warmer tone you would choose a warm palette but when you post it in social media you then realize that alot of people see the colors differently just like how some would see it in a screen with customized lighting with its own shade of color sometimes people have it in warm tone or cool tone or night vision and the color of your drawing differs so much :// idk if it's just me or something
Can’t talk, busy eating some grey strawberries.
Realistic spotted 🤣😂
But after eating those grey strawberries do your hands turn grey or red?

Why it is almost impossible to see these strawberries as gray
Idk but the paper ones looked pink to me hbu

Man that shoe changes colour every time I look away and look back at it
The same thing happened to me for the dress ! The first time I saw it, it was clearly white and gold, but when it was revealed that the true colors were black and blue, I could not see it back to white and gold, and then turned around and the dress changed again..
It's so weird
I see it as some kind of very bland (non-neon) teal mixed with red and turqoise lacing etc... I don't see any grey or pink or whatever. The shoe itself seems dark teal, bland mixed with some kind of underlying redness to me, while the lacing etc is bright neon turquoise.

it looked like it was changing color because it was entering an area that looked like it had green light around it, so your perception adjusts

Thanks for the conclusion!
When that dress thing was going around I genuinely thought people were trolling. It was obviously black and blue to me, but I stared at it for a while and it was like I looked at a different spot or something and it faded into white and gold. When it was on in the video I was trying to do that again and couldn't until they mentioned the blue light thing then it clicked and I could do it again. Same with the shoes. Knowing to imagine the light differently makes it so much easier.
Exactly what I gathered, if I'm told that I am reducing light then I can see it the other way by concentrating enough.
I still can't see black and blue
Yeaaaah I can only see the dress as white and gold and the shoe gray and teal XD but I tried

No, it looked pink to me as well.
Sometimes
The “strawberries” that he made? I think they meant to say pink instead of red because those are most definitely pink
The fake ones are definitely more of a magenta/pink. Also, under the filter they look completely gray to me. Maybe people who see the fake ones as more red can see the illusion of red too.
At first the shoe they photoshopped looked pink af (and awfully photoshopped), but after going back, it looked gray and blue-green-turquoise. So knowing it was pink and seeing the process of editing it definitely changed my perception
when I saw that famous dress.... it was blue and black.... then it changed before my eyes to white and gold and has stayed that way since...
We painters fight against this all the time. It's part of the "paint what you see, not what you think you see". At one point we learn that a color is always relative to the other colors around it. I still see red, but logically I know it's just a warmer shade of gray than the other grays around it. Cool stuff!
Plot twist: I’m not color blind, everyone else in the world is, except me
You will only be colorblind you make yourself feel different than everyone else
