What do you see in the bottom circle?

a 5 or a 2?

I know it should be a 2 for you, but I'm just wondering if you see the 2.

I see an 8...it could be a 2 but no way is it a 5.

I have often wondered how a color blind artist might survive...but there are some pretty good ones.

In one of his books, Oliver Sacks has an interesting story about a painter who lost all sense of colour due to brain damage. He eventually got back into painting, developing a different style. (Oliver Sacks has also written a book called "The Island of the Colorblind", which is likely to be a good read for people interested in the subject, although I haven't read it myself.)

There's also an amazing painter who isn't just colourblind, but entirely blind: http://www.impactlab.com/2008/03/22/life-as-a-blind-painter/

Thanks. I thought that was probably the one, but I wasn't sure, and I couldn't find the book.

Simple words. Basic visual stuff. Wondering if we swapped eyeballs at the intersection, would the actual colors still be the same in our brains.

Of course this thread hasn't a thing in the world to do with colors or intersections. It's all about how differently we see things in this forum.



😀

If sensory colors register with such wide variation, it's little wonder we all see the varied thread topics so differently in this general forum.
