Can you see pink?

@anotherusername Blah blah blah, back when they were faddy and like 573,324 Magic Eye books were in every mall in the US, I got this explanation and a million others on an almost daily basis.
I've still never seen a 3D image in those blobs of shit. Ever. It's not biologically possible for some people, no matter how condescendingly you explain how easy it is.
It's easy! Just hold a live mouse in front of the book! It appears like there's a live mouse, unhappy about being held in front of a weird book! It's like magic!

@Gurth You could have gone all the way and made a Pretty Marines army.
I doubt those went all the way as far as these :) In essence, the whole army is one big sexual innuendo joke that began as a few players kidding about “pink Space Marines with black codpieces”. That lead me to eventually amass (at a guess) 5000 points or so worth of models like those above, or these:
or these:
or, of course, these:
The winged variant of those last ones went down really well on Bolter & Chainsword ;)

You got 6 out of 8 right!

Wow! You see pink perfectly.There. Now my brain hurts because it reminds me of T-Com / T-Mobile magenta. Thanks for that.
Also:
Neither - same shade different color
What? How does that... I don't... TDEMSYR!

-
@Luhmann but... that answer would seem to mean something like "It's actually green, but it's the same shade of green as the pink" ???
-
@Onyx
Maybe put on your shades?

The smallest difference in color that you are supposed to see reliably is somewhere between a Delta E of 1.0 and 2.3
FTFY. (The differences in the test are really hard to discern.)
For me, on most pictures what I could see were the edges of shapes, probably due to some jpeg compression artifacts (which is to be expected with sharp contrasts and jpeg). The colors themselves were identical and I failed (or answer randomly) all the "is this
fuchiafushiafuck yapink more or less [yellow|green|blue] than the other?"
-
@remi said in Can you see pink?:
"is this fuchia fushia fuck ya pink more or less [yellow|green|blue] than the other?"
I guessed those mostly as well, I don't have an RGB wheel in my brain, nor can I convert the image into values by looking at it. Honestly, all were half-educated guesses, and the only reason I got them right was because I messed with RGB sliders in various graphics programs so I kinda managed to extrapolate from that.
I can't imagine how someone who never did something like that would ever answer this correctly. Dunno, am I the weird one?
-
@Onyx said in Can you see pink?:

Yes, but that's nothing to do with this test ;)

I didn't mess with the images, just squinted at the screen. But as I said, for most pictures I relied on the edges of the shapes, so basically when it asked me "how many circles" I looked for fragments of edges that I could vaguely see, assumed that they were all parts of circles (no background noise) and tried to interpolate to make them into circles and guess how many there were. Any slightly different setup in the picture, such as circles overlapping, circles half-outside the picture, circles mixed with squares etc., I would have gotten it wrong.
Dunno, am I the weird one?
Well, we're still discussing very seriously a dumb internet test, so you're definitely not the only weird one.
-
@remi said in Can you see pink?:

I didn't mean these ones, I meant that I messed with setting colors in general, so I kinda know what to expect when I move each slider. But for minute differences like these I don't have any concept of "more or less yellow in pink" outside of that.

fuchiafushiafuck yapinkIt's “fuchsia” as it is named after a bush. (Got one in my garden; it needs very hard pruning every year in the autumn to stop it from taking over.) Has lots of nice flowers. It also grows wild and rampant on the Isle of Man, making the place very pretty indeed at some times of year.
Before you ask, yes, the correct pronunciation makes it out to be one of @Perverted_Vixen's favourite colours.

I didn't have to guess the color differences - I could see them relatively easily.

So, no, not the same at all, but still hilarious.

@Onyx said in Can you see pink?:

I took it to mean "same brightness, different hue".
-
@remi said in Can you see pink?:
The colors themselves were identical and I failed (or answer randomly) all the "is this
fuchiafushiafuck yapink more or less [yellow|green|blue] than the other?"I found those to be pretty easy. I think I might've missed one of them, but the colors were nearly identical on it. The others had a pretty noticeable difference.

You don't have to have a color wheel in your brain to tell that one color is a little bit yellower than another almost-identical color, when they're right next to each other...

Color is where it is on the color wheel, shade is how dark or light it is.
Pink is a shade of red (we have different words for them because we distinguish them more so than blue versus baby blue), same color, different shade.
Orange is red plus yellow. Different colors.

- Make extremely hard vision test
- Users think they discovered a previously undiagnosed problem
- Impressed, they spread it to their friends
- Many page views
- Profit
OTOH I found I'm faceblind in one of these, and at least now I know why I never recognize anyone.

@Weng said in Can you see pink?:
I got the one about the blue circle right.
I also got the one with no internal shape right (though given the prior results I couldn't have proven that).
I think my phone screen is fucked, so I'll try again when I get to real displays.
Yeah. Definitely a display quality issue. Aced it with real, color calibrated monitors.

I can tell you that I lose my sense of depth perception, sometimes.

According to this unreliable source, pink has more blue than green in it making it not a pure shade of red.

@dkf Pinks with blue in them are called purple. People often confuse the two.

I disagree that the word hue is any more precise than the word color (in English as opposed to RGB hex values since at least a plurality of those taking the quiz are unfamiliar with those values).
Yes, I was wrong in lumping tint, tone, and shade together as shade (though I suspect this is a common mistake).

I disagree with your disagreement.
(but I respect your opinion, of course)

I bet she’s one of those people who see pink as a very girly colour, despite that for a long time (until about the 20th century — approximate date varies by locale) it was considered masculine exactly because it’s a variation of red.

It's a bit more complicated than that. It was very inconsistent until the early to mid 20th century which of blue and pink were considered boys or girls colours. It depended on location and who you spoke to.
-
@Yamikuronue 7 out of 8 right, because this one is bullshit
i correctly answered there are three, because the upper left one (in the answer image) doesn't exist in the question image, but they got it wrong. I could have had clean score.

See above, multiple times. They recompress the images when served, and on Chrome the fourth circle disappears in the re-encoding.

How many pink circles are in this image?

@ben_lubar zero?

cross-eyed and divergent stereo vision
I can do the cross-eyed ones on cue and focus almost instantly, but I have a hard time with the divergent kind. However, I can usually resolve Magic Eye pictures pretty easily, and IIRC they are usually divergent.
-
Anyway I got 5:
- missed the circle that apparently doesn't show up in Chrome
- didn't see any squares in the "count the squares" one
- didn't see the shape in the "what shape" one

For me the cross-eyed version was much harder to get the hang of. I could go cross-eyed, easy; way too far cross-eyed to actually see anything. It took some practice to be able to get the correct amount of cross-eyed to view the image.
