14 DAY TRIAL // First off, fair warning: if you’re short on time, save this video for later. It's only 2 minutes long, but I guarantee you'll want to replay it several times.
In fact, if you’re anything like me, you might waste about half an hour with it. That's because you'll want to make some screenshots, head over to Paint, spend some time cropping, and make sure the guy narrating the video isn't bluffing.
The video explains that, contrary to popular opinion, picking up colors is by no means a very easy thing to do. That's because our eyes really get a kick out of deceiving us.
Apparently, people are utterly unable to pin down absolute colors. On the contrary, we see things in context. Hence the fact that what we sometimes perceive as two different colors might actually be the same color.
As pointed out in the video, scientists are still trying to figure out how and why our eyes and brains interpret reality in this wacky manner.
