Your comments on Friday got me really curious about how we see color, so I want to run a little test today.
What color is this?

Now what color is this?
This isn't a controlled test, I know, because the lighting today is different from Friday. The top and bottom pictures are the same that I posted Friday. The middle photo, I took today, and tried to get the white balance and everything else as close to the others as possible.
The poncho is a royal blue and lavender. In the comments on Friday everyone kept remarking on the blue and white. So I had my daughter look at the photos and tell me what color they were; she answered correctly. Now, a couple weeks ago, I did tell her that Rowan needed a purple poncho. I had DH look at the photos. He has been within a few feet of me crochet this thing; he said, "blue and white."
I see blue and lavender. Is that just because I know that is what color it is? Did my daughter say lavender because I planted a clue in her a couple weeks ago? Did DH say blue and white because he doesn't pay attention?
Now what color do you see?
Now that you mention it, lavender. But it is very, very pale.

ReplyDeleteI see blue and white.
But I always wonder about colors on this laptop monitor---somehow they always seem a little off or something.........
Lovely crocheting no matter what color though!
Wow...I totally thought it was white, on an overcast day! Pretty :)
