    Everyone sees colors slightly differently, this is perfectly illustrated by the old blue black/white gold dress. Depending on how your brain has learned to perceive color determines what colors you see.

      Your phone screen only uses three colors to represent all colors.

      If you printed out the photo of the dress the “illusion” wouldn’t work.

      The 3 colors used to make the blue dress in warm “gold” light is what allows your brain to interpret it as yellow.

      If anything it helps prove that people basically see in the same way. Just if your brain adjusts for the backlight tone. You either saw blue or yellow. No one was saying purple or orange.

      If you took mushrooms and saw purple you’d be hallucinating. Your brain is giving you false information.

      Seeing it as yellow isn’t false information but a different interpretation of the given material

        Yeah, I’m in agreement with you, my point is that we have proof that people perceive reality slightly differently, in general it’s pretty standardized, but there are slight variations. That’s all my point was.
