Is this because our brains have been programmed to see Coca Cola can as red? Or does it have something to do with the way the black and white boxes are organized? (I.e. if it were a sprite can, it would still be red)
Someone did a color swap and the can looks blue when the cyan pixels are instead yellow
How come this comment isn’t clickable in the app, and you have to open a browser to see it?
Depends on the Lemmy app you use and your phone preferences for app opening certain links in different apps ( e.g. PayPal specific links may open in the PayPal app)
Thanks, I’m in voyager on Android. In the app settings, I can choose to open the link either “with default browser” or “in app”.
Even if it is set to “in app”, the app renders a browser window instead of just taking me to that comment in the thread.
Weird.
It’s effectively your brain doing automatic white balance, it sees everything being tinted cyan so it just sorta subtracts cyan from the area, which results in white being reddish
you can do this physically (by tiring out the colour-sensing cells in your eyes) if you stare at a colour for about 30 seconds then quickly look at a white surface, you should see the inverse of the first colour.
The cyan is the one playing the trick. I can see the black and white nature without zooming when focusing on the logo or something. Sometimes it randomly changes from b/w to red
I have myopia so if I place the phone far from my face I can’t see that it is even a can… I still see a little bit of a red area there.
