I worked for years as a cobbler, doing shoe repair. I worked with colored dyes on a daily basis, and as such had a catalog called Industrial System Selections, which had thousands of colors, each of them with a discreet reference ID number. I read that catalog back to front a hundred times at least, and to this day, I can look at a color and just know the reference ID number haha

Please think twice before answering.
@@fractalphilosophorum9405 Perfect pitch is both a gift AND something that takes work, and it's basically impossible to achieve as an adult. Literally anyone can learn to guess hex colors. It's pure experience. You being condescending doesn't make you right, it just makes you sound like a dick.
@@fractalphilosophorum9405 This isn't like perfect pitch. Perfect pitch is your natural predilection to perceiving musical notes and pitch in general like someone who isn't colorblind perceives colors. What this is is "relative pitch", meaning that you can distinguish notes (in a similar manner to "perfect pitch") but you've achieved that through learning, listening and developing your points of reference.
@@muchanadziko6378 Absolutely. _Relative Pitch_ is the proper analogy to draw here: It's a learned association. OP had the right idea with the comparison.

But it's not something you can pick up on at any age by practice.
Legitimate question, wouldn't using the colour picker (or whatever that dropper tool is called) function the same way and just take a few seconds more to use than directly guessing RGB values?
Nice! You work with the numbers for a bit and you get a feel . Three values near each other=greyish. A brighter grey will have all three values higher-lower gray lower. To add the green tint, make the green value higher and you will get a greener grey. Add a little blue to get it slightly towards aqua, voila!
Bruh this is literally what I'm struggling as a digital artist, my ability to guess colors is absolutely at worst so a lot of people have suggested to take some real life projects and I'm also currently developing games to improve my skills
I've been working in design and print for 16 years now. early on a got the ability to guess/approximate and memorize CMYK and pantone colors at first glance... it was very helpful and it does impress people.
@@lolhi8610 i assume grey, because RGB values go from 0 to 255(a total of 256 numbers because we include the 0 too) if all 3 are 0 then it's black if all 3 are 255 it's white, have each value be a different number between that range and you get the color spectrum 128 is half of 256 so it's midway between black and white so it should be a shade of grey
I saw this a few months ago and every now and again I’ll see a color in the world and think damn that’s pretty I wish so could recreate that. Then I’m reminded of color genius (as I dubbed him because I didn’t know who he was when this first popped into my recommended) and I’d get jealous of his skill set. His video is definitely the one that lives in my head rent free.
I had a group project where I did all the programming, the art, the story writing, the game design.... yeah it was a 4 person team, but one didn't do jack shit, one was in the hospital the entire time, and the last one tried his best to help but he struggled to grasp game dev so he was pretty behind on the necessary skills. He was pretty decent with art though so what he did was go through all my art and clean it up to make it look a lot better. Luckily I enjoyed working on that project so much that I kept working at it at home and we got a good grade in the end.

Speaking as a guy who's job it is to stare at colors all day and make sure "that specific shade of blue is pantone 289c" I can confirm at some point colors just become numbers
I mean...when you think about it...EVERYTHING is just numbers and Characters. Every written language and way to understand one another is all done with perceived ways of language, and every color is similar to another color, just slight darker or brighter in shade. Molecules are multiple (numerous) atoms of the elements bonded together to form varying things that we call matter and existence in general. They say atoms are the bulding blocks of the universe, but it seems more like they are but the first segments in a string of numbers and characters, all perceived differently. I think I just convinced myself into believing the matrix i[REDACTED]
That would be an applicable and marketable skill in the hair coloring industry. No joke . Those color value chart's and tone intensity graphs are insanely extensive.
Not as much as you would think, hair color is done using pigments. Pigments combine differently than pure light, which is why those have red blue and yellow as primary colors rather than rgb
@@ForestNibbler I mean but a job in decorating or anything voice that he would be great. Especially for neutral shades which is one of the hardest parts is finding a shade of white that works well with the rest of the colour scheme.
@@Yazzzzzan they say that but it’s completely false because those machines match the wet color to the dry color, and it’s always a few shades off but there used to be this one guy at Menards that did it by eye and it was perfect every time (did interior painting) but it was literally only that guy everyone else used a machine and it was always off. I assume he has some sort of similar skill to this guy so it was extremely useful.
@@Yazzzzzan no, it’s a much bigger difference than that, those machines are more like 75% accurate and some of these people can made it indistinguishable to the human eye. So that would make this a very useful skill

Now I’m a geography genius.
When I would play video games at like 3 am I grew the ability to feel the vibrations of my parents foot steps and it’s getting to the point where I could feel my dad walking up to the house while I’m in bed
Oh, no, that’s normal. I forget where I saw it, but I once heard a quote something along the lines of “strict parents don’t make obedient kids, they make kids good at listening for footsteps.” By middle school I was able to tell whether it was my mom or my dad walking down the hall, and if they were upset or not. Very useful skill to have when wrapping presents btw.
Huh. Wow. I just got a sense of which family member or dog was going up the stairs by how heavy their footsteps were, and how fast they normally went up.
This is called learned intuition, it’s a pretty insane way our brain can take something that seems complex and daunting but after tons of practice it turns into a reflexive skill.
I’m pretty sure the correct concept is "intuitive learning", intuition is itself a way to learn and it’s natural, we don’t learn to learn (intuitively)
Unfortunately, this can be unintentional. First time I was taking Anatomy and Physiology, I couldn't remember what Magnum Foreman (literally large hole and the exit point for your spinal cord from your skull.)

I got at least half of their names right the first time I saw them. I blame the Pokerap for getting me invested in learning their names from the first gen.

He makes several comments later in the reaction video about where the walls lead and whether it indicates there's a room somewhere and if they've covered everything.

My brother was bragging to me about being able to somewhat understand hex, my dad overheard and was like “no you can’t”- we spent the next 10 minutes naming random colors, having him say the hex, and then putting it into procreate to see if he was right… it was uncanny. This man had it down to a science having completely understood how hexadecimals worked through sheer observation. I’m both proud and terrified.

I've been a carpenter for 10 years and have developed a really good eye for small measurements (sub 1"). One night my wife was making some pastries and the stips needed to be a certain width. She asked if I could cut the first strip so that she could use it as a guide to cut the rest. I cut the first one and she was doubting that it was the proper width, so I grabbed the tape measure out of the junk drawer and measured it in front of her... It was dead on! She proceeded to test me with different items around the kitchen to see if I had just gotten lucky or if I had a hidden talent. Needless to say, I guessed every single measurement prefectly 😂🤷🏼♂️

@@b3n3418 The joke (or at least the reason why the statement is very funny, because I can't quite be sure if it was intentially a joke) is that sans serif is a family of fonts (the kind that don't have those fancy spurs that are called serifs at the tips of letterforms - think Times New Roman as a serif font, Arial as a sans serif font), whereas Helvetica is a font - and in fact, Helvetica _is_ a sans serif font!

Got a lot of windows that seperates the main production area from the rest of the building. I have become very skilled at writing backwards so people on the other side of the window can read it.
I didn't get this skill for work or any purpose, but I don't know why I always practice writing mirrored words since primary school. Now I can write mirrored words as smooth as writing normal words, just a little bit slower than my normal writing (I'm from Hong Kong, so I write traditional Chinese and English)
yoooo same, I used to make tons of games back in middleschool with friends I was using hexadecimal and rgb for it so much, guessing the literal values of objects is actually trivial especially if you start to practice it for real, which I did for a short while out of boredom(remember was still in school for a whole after lmao)
My mom is like that, but more in an abstract sense. She can-- just from looking at it!-- mix colors of paint to match the previous paint precisely when it dries, which is a hell of a trick bc the colors look different when wet vs dry. She used this skill working for a home restoration company- the folks who put your house back to rights when there's been a flood or fire or whatevs. When I was a baby she painted ceramics a lot, but didn't have the money for a lot of colors, so she'd mix the colors she needed from several basic colors, and gained the ability to reproduce pretty much any shade. It's pretty amazing to watch, tbh.
For 4 years I worked at a different type of fast food restaurant that focused particularly hard on the fast part of fast food. Everything was meant to shave off as much time between orders as possible so one of the skills that I accidentally learned that thankfully will never come in handy for me again is being able to listen to an entire 40 to 50 item order and be able to recite it perfectly from memory before punching it in but it only works with the menu items of that restaurant. Nothing else.
I can remember series of numbers for a short period of time very quickly. I can read it, say it twice and see it in my head until I need to use it a short while later. Quickly memorize an 8 digit number at random, walk across a sales floor, say something to someone and type it into a computer because even though I can do that I never remember to keep pen and paper on-hand. I also know the first 6 digits of both general merch SKUs and gift card numbers. The first is 882709 and the second is 604883. I'll never not know that now.
I’ve only been working my current job a few months and one day my computer freezes after a small order and we can’t total it which means the costumer can’t pay. They had to clear it and in a calmly ask me “do you remember her order?” With no hesitation I say “NO” then without looking away I immediately recite her entire order. They double checked and I got it right! 😂
I've gotten extremely good at guessing the time, like down to the minute if I've seen the time at least within the past 3-5 hours. And if I can see the sun, then I'm always dead on. Don't let this confuse you however, I'm late to literally everything
Exactly the same here. I can generally tell you the time to the minute no matter the time of day, and I can usually give you the number of minutes remaining until we reach our destination. I ran out yesterday to grab McDonald's for example; said I would be back in 17 minutes as I walked out, walked back in the door with seconds to spare.

I got obsessed with knitting at some point and it seriously consumed every waking hour of my life. At some point I simply knew the size of a knitting needle up to 0,25mm by looking at it. When I got into archery, a friend struggled with finding matching arrows in the arrow bucket so I started digging around for her, suddenly she grabbed one "I think this one's fine" me in the most monotone voice "no it's 0,5mm thicker than the others." She got mad at me being pretentious and actually measured it. I was right and she was weirded out about my precision 🤣
As a metalworker I can do the same thing basically, everything small like drillbits, wire, sheet metal I can determine the thickness often up to 0.2mm precission
This actually would be an extremely useful skill in the digital art field and the traditional art field,and this is coming from someone who is terrible with color palettes/color picking.

I can accurately judge the proper container size for any food. A lot of people will see the container and think that it's too small, and then be shocked when it is exactly the right size, like to the brim.
Now that's something I envy. Every single time I have to transfer food from a pot to a plastic container I end up with a lot of extra room because I always think it needs more space than it actually does lol
I'm better at this now that I batch cook. The container is always smaller than you'd expect. Plus when you then transfer it to a plate it's always bigger than expected.
My absolutely useless skill is the ability to hear everything while dozing off, especially during class. My teacher made me an exception because I can answer any questions asked even with my head down on the table
Same, literally never keep eye contact or copy from the desk, I can be laying for 40 minutes straight on desk but I will hear anything which is happening around in the class(not only the lesson but also all the convos) and memorize it, most of my teachers are ok with me not concentrating cause they know I will understand the material anyway.
I’m a college student and obviously I have to wake up a certain time for class. But the thing is, my body got used to the sound of my phone alarm and considered it as a ‘white noise’ so I tend to overslept. I frequently changed the alarm sound and it keeps happening again. I ended up acquiring a somewhat useful skill where I always chant what time I want to wake up before I sleep and my conciousness ALWAYS wakes me up AT THAT EXACT TIME (sometimes even 15-30 minutes earlier on special days like exams or birthdays, probably because I was nervous/excited). It’s like my body has a timer and when I wake up I just know what time of the day it is. If I don’t chant before I sleep then my body will be awake the exact time I mostly wake up at (on average I wake up at 7 AM). This only works for night sleeps though, didn’t work if it’s just naps.
I have been able to pull it off several times. I am trying to master this exact skill but rather than chanting, I imagine the numbers on the clock of the time i want to wake up at in my brain.
I have the exact same thing! Alarms just go into my dreams, but if I think to myself, yeah, I'd like to wake up at about half 8 tomorrow, I'll usually wake up close to that time. Very cool that you've experienced similiar!
Had something similar. I would wake up at 5am on the dot when I went to boarding school because only the first few people to get in the showers got hot water and I didn't like waking up to a massive manually rung bell in my room. Would literally wake up like 2 minutes before the guy comes around and he would come in and see me sitting there in a towel and with all my toiletries. The funny part Is that I wasn't the only one. Everyone else started having it but I was the only person able to get my body to wake up so i could sprint to the shower while everyone else had to walk. I lost the wake up at a specific time ability but when I wake up if I'm not sleep deprived I work like I woke up 4 hours ago. Literally woke up into a sprint for a year basically.

Nice! You work with the numbers for a bit and you get a feel . Three values near each other=greyish. A brighter grey will have all three values higher-lower gray lower.

128 is half of 256 so it's midway between black and white so it should be a shade of grey

I can remember series of numbers for a short period of time very quickly. I can read it, say it twice and see it in my head until I need to use it a short while later. Quickly memorize an 8 digit number at random, walk across a sales floor, say something to someone and type it into a computer because even though I can do that I never remember to keep pen and paper on-hand. I also know the first 6 digits of both general merch SKUs and gift card numbers. The first is 882709 and the second is 604883. I'll never not know that now.
@@kristavaillancourt6313 pretty sure most people can do that if they try. Most people don't try.
The power of repetition!
I’ve only been working my current job a few months and one day my computer freezes after a small order and we can’t total it which means the costumer can’t pay. They had to clear it and in a calmly ask me “do you remember her order?” With no hesitation I say “NO” then without looking away I immediately recite her entire order. They double checked and I got it right! 😂
Bruh xD
I've gotten extremely good at guessing the time, like down to the minute if I've seen the time at least within the past 3-5 hours. And if I can see the sun, then I'm always dead on.
Don't let this confuse you however, I'm late to literally everything
Exactly the same here. I can generally tell you the time to the minute no matter the time of day, and I can usually give you the number of minutes remaining until we reach our destination.
I ran out yesterday to grab McDonald's for example; said I would be back in 17 minutes as I walked out, walked back in the door with seconds to spare.
😂😂😂😂😂

"I was in charge with the programming and art"
I see, so it was one of those times where your friend said "I have a big idea" and you did all the work.
Story and game play writing? Characters?Animation/graphics? Sound design/music? Marketing and sales? And probably dozens of other factors that gamers can list much better than I can.

Here's a in-depth explanation on how art is under of all what you said
@@CunningBard obviously he didn’t do the whole thing
@@ambitiously_ lmao that don't matter if the game isn't fun. Game design first, all others are second.
@@thisguy.-. but programming and art don’t necessarily make the game fun or not a game can have mediocre art and programming and still be enjoyable or have really good art and programming and still be boring
I got obsessed with knitting at some point and it seriously consumed every waking hour of my life. At some point I simply knew the size of a knitting needle up to 0,25mm by looking at it.
When I got into archery, a friend struggled with finding matching arrows in the arrow bucket so I started digging around for her, suddenly she grabbed one "I think this one's fine" me in the most monotone voice "no it's 0,5mm thicker than the others." She got mad at me being pretentious and actually measured it. I was right and she was weirded out about my precision 🤣
As a metalworker I can do the same thing basically, everything small like drillbits, wire, sheet metal I can determine the thickness often up to 0.2mm precission
🤣🤣🤣
@@mk-themakening4448 oh yeah my skill definitely came in handy when I needed to work on my house and car!
Dayum Human beings can have such powerful mind and yet we have fucking twitter
My mother can do this with trash bags. She can just tell how many litres a bag is and im always thrilled.

We all need a friend who freaks out like that just so we can cry laugh from time to time. I love it!
Yes
This actually would be an extremely useful skill in the digital art field and the traditional art field,and this is coming from someone who is terrible with color palettes/color picking.
If the colour isn't in someone's imagination, i guess they could just take a picture of the colour, then use the eyedropper too?
@@kami_1789 i suppose so
Yeah I feel like one could possibly use that knowledge to also be REALLY good at color mixing in traditional painting too
As someone who’s in the art/design field, I suck at color theory in general. Idk why I’m here 😂 Jealous of people who are good with colors and have photographic memories
Yeah, I can't make most yellows and brown is hard to make
I'm a teacher, spent so long holding a page and pointing at the place we're up to that I can read upside down, full speed.
When I was little I liked to read the advertisements on windows, but only from the wrong side
In my third grade class the teacher would give us the option of different spelling assignments and some of the options were writing upside down or backwards so now I can read and write upside pretty well
That’s impressive 😭

That reaction is some of the small scale human interaction type shit I live for.
I can accurately judge the proper container size for any food. A lot of people will see the container and think that it's too small, and then be shocked when it is exactly the right size, like to the brim.
Now that's something I envy. Every single time I have to transfer food from a pot to a plastic container I end up with a lot of extra room because I always think it needs more space than it actually does lol
Omg, I have the anti-talent of this. I can never figure out what size of a container I’m supposed to pick out.
Ha! I do this too! How funny.
I'm better at this now that I batch cook. The container is always smaller than you'd expect. Plus when you then transfer it to a plate it's always bigger than expected.
My absolutely useless skill is the ability to hear everything while dozing off, especially during class. My teacher made me an exception because I can answer any questions asked even with my head down on the table
Prolly a blessing and a curse at the same time, eh?
Is it possible to learn this power ?
@@ddee3743 Audible learner. So no.
Same, literally never keep eye contact or copy from the desk, I can be laying for 40 minutes straight on desk but I will hear anything which is happening around in the class(not only the lesson but also all the convos) and memorize it, most of my teachers are ok with me not concentrating cause they know I will understand the material anyway.
Can’t say it’s useless doe, it makes life kinda easier if you are in school
I’m a college student and obviously I have to wake up a certain time for class. But the thing is, my body got used to the sound of my phone alarm and considered it as a ‘white noise’ so I tend to overslept. I frequently changed the alarm sound and it keeps happening again. I ended up acquiring a somewhat useful skill where I always chant what time I want to wake up before I sleep and my conciousness ALWAYS wakes me up AT THAT EXACT TIME (sometimes even 15-30 minutes earlier on special days like exams or birthdays, probably because I was nervous/excited).
It’s like my body has a timer and when I wake up I just know what time of the day it is. If I don’t chant before I sleep then my body will be awake the exact time I mostly wake up at (on average I wake up at 7 AM). This only works for night sleeps though, didn’t work if it’s just naps.
I have been able to pull it off several times. I am trying to master this exact skill but rather than chanting, I imagine the numbers on the clock of the time i want to wake up at in my brain.
I used to be able to do this lol
I have the exact same thing! Alarms just go into my dreams, but if I think to myself, yeah, I'd like to wake up at about half 8 tomorrow, I'll usually wake up close to that time. Very cool that you've experienced similiar!
Had something similar. I would wake up at 5am on the dot when I went to boarding school because only the first few people to get in the showers got hot water and I didn't like waking up to a massive manually rung bell in my room. Would literally wake up like 2 minutes before the guy comes around and he would come in and see me sitting there in a towel and with all my toiletries. The funny part Is that I wasn't the only one. Everyone else started having it but I was the only person able to get my body to wake up so i could sprint to the shower while everyone else had to walk. I lost the wake up at a specific time ability but when I wake up if I'm not sleep deprived I work like I woke up 4 hours ago. Literally woke up into a sprint for a year basically.
I acn do this too!! Also works for naps with me too
I love how theres the silent friend who is amazed and the one wondering If anything is real.
