Secondly do this opticla illusion test and see how many illusions work for you, most worked for me so i think i am supposed to have an amazing brain it said :3: :151:

It's blue and gold, and it is only because she got the settings on her camera wrong that this is even the question. People need to learn about exposure and white balance settings!!!!!!!
 
Arrr that would explain it, but it does intrigue me how we can all see a different image that is just one static picture, our brains am weird.
 
It certainly has attracted a lot of attention. I've often wondered if we see colours the same way? We've been told red is red, but do you see the same red I do?

With so many pictures taken on phones these days, the settings are causing more problems. Add to that most screens aren't calibrated properly, and you get different results. You're not seeing what I'm seeing, basically.

Actually it's blue with black lace bands. But you are right about the rest, that and there is clearly a "yellow" light in the room, perhaps the sun coming through a window.

Sorry, I was going from the initial posts and didn't check!!! My head gets a bit fuzzy these days. Either way, it is interesting how cameras can change the picture.

I started to ask this question when I was quite young as I see colours more "warmly" through one eye than the other (When one eye is closed).

I later discovered that Rene Descartes asked similar questions back in the 17th century and went on to make a career out of it.

Ooooh. That's weird. I've just checked and both my eyes see colours the same. Have you identified how common this is?

I will look up more of Descartes later, when my brain wakes up a bit more. I love things like this.
 
Descartes didn't specifically talk about colours but about perception and how we experience things and whether or not we experience them in the same way or not. This is where the phrase "I think, therefore I am" originates from.

I have asked others about the two eyes thing and have never come across anyone else that has the same.

 
I've just done a quick google search, it seems it's quite common.
 
Blue and black to me too. But I've seen other pics where it's gold and white. I'm confused.

I love this shit though, does anyone know the name of the illusion kind of pics where you stare at them slightly cross-eyed or something and they reveal a 3-D kind of image?

My cousin had a book of it once, and I've been trying to find them ever since.



 
They are called autostereograms. The technique needed is to focus on a point beyond the actual picture, the easiest way to do this is to put the picture behind glass and then look at your own reflection from a 30-50 cm distance.

I loved these pictures when I was a late teen/early 20s and have trained my eyes so that I can usually see the 3d image within seconds and without the aid of a reflection.


 
Sorry, had to log off yesterday due to dizzy spell.

Very interesting, Ian. Is there a name for your condition, and/or and explanation why it happens to some and not others?

As for the picture, every screen you look at has different gamma, temperature, contrast and brightness settings. Add to this that the room lighting also has an impact, and you can see why it looks so different each time. There are ways to calibrate your screen, which I do for my photography, but this needs doing regularly, and in consistent light. It's almost like a modern darkroom.

 
LOL Yes SirDen dude that has been very helpful, i will find a colour blind illusion test out for ya, something like Charlie Chaplin film should do it ;)

I couldn't find a name of it. I found various explanations, all of which are a bit over my head medically speaking but they disagreed and contradicted each other anyway. One thing that they all agreed on is that there could be a pathological reason and as such anyone with this "condition" should get themselves checked out by an optician, well as I first noticed this in my early teen and I have been using glasses / contact lenses since I was 11 years old, I have had regular eye examinations for the last 30 years or so, so I'm not at all concerned on that front.

Just to clarify, I see colours as "the same" colour through both eyes, just that in my right eye colours are a bit "warmer", as if lit by a warm sun, where as my left eye could be described as being lit by the light on an overcast day.

I wonder if this is cause by me having a mild astigmatism in my left eye where as my right eye (and left) is short sighted, but that's just me guessing.
