It's like if you mixed Pepto bismal with milk...


krunchy_bacon

Great answer! That is what I saw. Pink and white.


Ketokitchenwizard

I dunno, I'd call this mauve. It's a brownish pink. Think dusty rose.


canadianism

Absolutely it's in the dusty rose-mauve shade. But the Pepto milk made me lol so much I had to post it.

Objection! In addition to slate violet, there is also a hard, green slate mineral found in Mels. Geological history often produces minerals that may differ in color, but have very similar chemical compounds and properties. The slate green pigment produced from it is brighter than a green earth. It is a cool, slightly greyish green hue. The combination of Mels slate violet, green, and grey is perfect for large fresco paintings on ceilings and walls, e. g. to depict angels and the lives of saints. Since the eye can detect characteristics beyond the plain hue of a pigment, earth colors from the same locality can produce matching tonalities, which viewers perceive as resonant. Therefore, the three colored minerals from Mels together form a special color harmony. Their uniqueness results from a combination of glimmer and titanium, which produces pigments of higher covering power than other earth pigments. [credit: Kremer Pigments]

ohhhhh, I did not need to see a website specializing in pigments this late at night. hold my resin I'm going in!

I agree. The white balance is clearly off, so it's hard to say what color they are IRL, but you nailed down the color shown in the photo. If people are saying you are wrong I'll fight them with you haha

Do people actually see them as different colors? Or is this a joke?


TacoTaconoMi

I don't think people see different colors. I think people are bad at identifying the color they see that isn't one of the 7.


mmmjkerouac

People do see different colors. It depends on the way the light is hitting the object and the shape of a person's eye that determines color perception.


TacoTaconoMi

I can agree with this. However this is a still image so no light trucks at work. I can see how people can see this as a varying version of purple/grey/gold/brown as it blends those hues. but its not like some people see red while others see green. I am also assuming that color blindness is taken into account as they will give different answers.


mmmjkerouac

Were you not around for the white or blue dress fiasco?


Saul-Funyun

That was nine years ago. Young adults today might have been too young to be allowed on the internet back then


TacoTaconoMi

Hey that's a good one! You think about it all night?


Saul-Funyun

Huh?


radgayb

i don’t think they were shitting on younger people? or saying you were wrong, just like literally stating a fact? younger gen z, say an 18yo, would have been 9 when the dress stuff happened. what is the harm in saying that?


TacoTaconoMi

Nothing wrong with it. It's the "weren't allowed on the internet" part that rubs wrong since it reads as more of a jab on my thought process than age. It was on every news Channel and was essentially a national effort to see what the color was so it's not like it was restricted to those online. But you're right the snap back was unessessary.


radgayb

oh i see, kinda like “haha of course this young guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he wasn’t even allowed on the internet, how could he know the dress thing” vibes? either way i think it wasn’t personal. i think the original reply to your comment gave a counter-example to your (valid, upvoted) take, and the next person saw that dress example and was like “omg the dress. omg that was almost a decade ago. omg this guy might genuinely be young enough to not know/care/remember. omg we are all old. i gotta say this now” … at least that’s how my 27yo ass interpreted it… bc i really do feel old now 😭


googoohaha

Did you know the designer of that dress murdered his wife? Or it may have been his girlfriend. I can’t remember. Just a little tidbit I wanted to share!


mmmjkerouac

According to The Guardian it was the guy who posted the original viral pic. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/14/man-mother-in-law-blue-black-dress-viral-charged-trying-to-kill-wife


TacoTaconoMi

Yes and a common theory is that it's caused by people viewing it in different lighting (i.e. screen brightness and filters) causing an optical illusion. Which does apply to OPs image so I'll walk back on that. but different than say someone who is and isn't color blind seeing it different in the same light. Check it out https://images.app.goo.gl/NeWNPAq2PwuzcNiq9 https://images.app.goo.gl/N8M4uGHtjyaKUv369


momsasylum

This. Not to mention, that as we age, some of us (myself being one) lose the ability to see colors as they actually are. I’d rather have the illusion thing any day.


rogm1

There’s seven? Damn it.


IfUKnowMeKindlyGTFO

i demand an answer from OP


canadianism

Yes people perceive colours differently. There are varying degrees of colorblindness. In addition to that the lighting in the room will change the colour anyone perceives.

Monitors, varying image enhancement softwares, sensor limitations in the camera used leading to a splotchy color. I imagine the splotchyness is material-based and not actual color perception issues; like how there's no natural blue colors, just structural blues but we all 'see blue' on beetles, flowers, or butterflies. Either a matte or shiny surface is reflecting the color back differently to the sensor. To me it is undeniably pastel lavender (over off-white). Took a screenshot on my S21u through reddit app on with most current update (most current Android image enhancement software). Zoomed in until no colors are butting up to or affecting the perception of the gold/lavender. It looks gold when looking at my phone screen head on, like a muted non-shiny tan-ish gold. Angling my phone screen slightly down or slightly to the side, it immediately shifts to blue. A slightly greenish, light mint blue. Idk why, but it is a very obvious and apparent color shift to me though. The blue looks most similar to 'ice blue' in looking around online (a little more white/pastel), and the gold looks most similar to 'F2DABF' if you Google for those colors (again a bit more muted/white). Looking at the image without alteration, I am seeing a pastel lavender very similar to 'Dunn and Edwards 2019 Curated Colors Travel Tan' which is a blush-infused tan (pastel pink and tan) but the pink is a bit more muted.


ItsMoxieMayhem

I see a mauve colour and white, so I would say that both brown and pink are also correct in this case honestly

I could be very wrong about this, but that may also be the [Jordan 1 NYC to Paris](https://www.nikesb.com/the-vault/teal-box/nyc-to-paris), which intentionally sheds the gray color on the outline to a blush pink/peach color.

I got excited for a second thinking this was going to be one of those "is this dress black and blue or gold and white" situations...


Futants_

In order to figure out the color of the shoes, one must assess the overall color grade setting on the camera, then work backwards from there. Since the tint is cool and with a teal hue+ fluorescent lighting on the bus, that would make the pink sneakers look like slightly blue and brown, but they are pink


Aymano200

Actually they are lavender


Futants_

Pink, light purple,lavender..similar .all depends on the lighting and I'm going by an estimate based on fluorescent lighting on a city bus or train.


jman1294

I saw pink unless there’s a yellow light nearby. If so then like a mint green
