Different color perception
Color perception is quite an interesting field of science. Although in every language there is a group of words for naming “colors” they are not the same even for two persons. Not speaking about all people in the world. Smart Banana decided to find the reasons. And here what we have learnt. Let’s go.
How we see the same collor
The human eye can physically perceive millions of colors. But we don’t all recognise these colors in the same way.
Some people can’t see differences in colors—so called color blindness—due to a defect or absence of the cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But the distribution and density of these cells also varies across people with “normal vision” causing us all to experience the same color in slightly different ways.
Besides our individual biological make up, color perception is less about seeing what is actually out there and more about how our brain interprets colors to create something meaningful. The perception of color mainly occurs inside our heads and so is subjective—and prone to personal experience.
Take for instance people with synaesthesia, who are able to experience the perception of color with letters and numbers. Synaesthesia is often described as a joining of the senses—where a person can see sounds or hear colors. But the colors they hear also differ from case to case.
Another example is the classic Alderson’s checker-shadow illusion. Here, although two marked squares are exactly the same color, our brains don’t perceive them this way.
