Zhann,
From the first time someone told me that the sun being larger at sunset was merely an illusion, I've questioned
what I see. The question of color is also one that I wonder about. Do I see the same colors as eveeryone else, do I see them in the same way? How do partially colorblind people see the world? From what I understand from the article in the link in my previous post, they see color(as opposed to grey) but not the color that will differenciate it from the background.
As to a number in (A) I agree. This was bothering me for weeks, I even did the photoshop thing to see if it was me or the color as did someone else I talked to. I finally decided to post it to see if anyone else saw the number. I am now quite relieved to find out that no one else sees a number either, but I now have a better appreciation for what people who are colorblind go through.
The raised lowered thing makes assumptions that may be cultural or otherwise learned. I don't think that it's an
important distinction except that it shows that we all see things differently. The same might be said for the red/blue circle. I have to think about that one some more.
Phantast,
Interesting. I hadn't thought that handedness(is that a word?) would have to do with perception, but it's a possibility. I'm left handed BTW. Some things I have to
turn around in my head in order to do them in a right handed manner. (I'm not making excuses for my poor typing.)
Thank you All for your help,
ps this all has a point. I'm thinking of writing an editor for bryce in "C" code - in the future I might have to ask about colors some more as if I ever get to it I'd like it to be accesable to as many as possible.
