benjii Posted 27 February, 2015 Share Posted 27 February, 2015 Well, it seems that the rancid fecal outpourings of soshal meja have, for once, given passage to an embedded sweetcorn of philosophical interest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_spectrum The fact is, you can quite easily agree with someone that it is "blue and brown" but you might perceive it in exactly the same way as someone who says it is "purple and grey". For a tangential exploration of the problems with ostensive definition, see, W.V.

Whitey Grandad Posted 27 February, 2015 Share Posted 27 February, 2015 You can't judge colours from a photo on a computer screen. I used to be involved in TV research, colour studio sampling standards to be precise. As far as TVs go there is no such colour as brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 27 February, 2015 Share Posted 27 February, 2015 Agree... but... how/why are people seeing white/gold or blue/black... they're not even close It all depends on the colour settings of the monitor they're using. It's a common problem for anyone using Photoshop. We have no end of problems in our business with people specifying Pantone (printing only) for a paint colour, usually a RAL code. I've even had one customer who specified a RAL code which was a bright orange but then refused the complete sign until it had been repainted in the colour he thought he was getting.
