The color of the sneakers is pink or. Another optical provocation: are the sneakers gray or pink? It is not that simple! Plays a role, age, gender, profession and even phone
Which seemed to some to be white and gold, and to others blue and black, as a new dispute began in social networks. British Nicole Coulthard posted in Facebook photo of Vans sneakers and said that she and her friend see the color of shoes differently: one had gray sneakers with turquoise laces, and the other had pink with white laces.
At The Village, ten people voted for gray, and only three saw pink. For some, the color of the shoes changed by the end of the day. In fact, the sneakers turned out to be pink.
To end the debate, we talked to an ophthalmologist, a psychologist and an artist and figured out why people see colors differently and what influences this.

The reason for the different perception of colors is a violation of color vision. These violations can be established using Rabkin's tables . Color perception depends on the visual pigment, this indicator is most often congenital, but it can also be acquired - after an injury or neuritis.
Rabkin's polychromatic tables are used to detect color blindness. According to the degree of color perception, there are: trichromats (normal), protoanopes (people with impaired perception in the red spectrum) and deuteranopes (people with impaired color perception of green).

The perception of color is influenced by living conditions, the state of the person at the moment, professional training and the general condition of the organs of vision. Physiological causes include visual impairment, such as color blindness, as well as situational mood. In a gloomy mood, a person reacts to dark shades, and in a positive mood, the picture for him becomes sunny and cleaner.
Sophistication in the definition of colors also plays a role. This aspect may be related to natural conditions or special training. Northern peoples who live in Chukotka or Alaska distinguish much more colors of snow, since hunting success and survival depend on it. Professional education also plays a role: artists have a sharper palette of perception.
It is enough for an ordinary person to see approximately, and he already draws a conclusion about the picture. Due to the visual culture that has now fallen upon us, the array of color information, people stop recognizing shades, they define them rather by shape. Color has ceased to be an indicator in our conditions.

From the point of view of the emotional perception of color, it is influenced by the cultural background, social position, and upbringing of the vision of color. people associated with creative activity, distinguishes the sight of colors. When a person constantly comes into contact with this, he sees the color more sensitively and deeper, places accents more strongly.
In order for the color to be perceived more calmly or, conversely, to cause an emotional outburst, a certain harmony of colors is created. And this combination just can affect perception. The same red can be perceived differently depending on the color around it. There are scientific papers by Joseph Albert on tools to influence the perception of colors.
Perception also differs from conditions, places. Therefore, artists always work in daylight - colors are perceived better in a natural environment.
These experiments with a dress, sneakers look like some kind of illusory trick. I think this happens because the image is shown on a digital medium. The human eye reacts differently to the image on the screen. There are settings with which you can adjust the color reproduction. Someone is more suitable when the color is more saturated, and for someone high contrast starts to hurt the eye.
Again, about cultural perception: you can draw a parallel with. For a person brought up in Japanese culture, a riot of color is typical, but not for a European. Many of my students complain about this exhibition as a painful experience: some even get headaches. We are just not used to perceive such intensity of colors.
The secret is "light correction"
Netizens are buzzing about the unusual sneaker, which looks gray with green laces to some and pink with white laces to others. Moreover, in the reports devoted to the illusion, it is argued that the perceived colors can be used to judge a person’s thinking: gray-green color speaks of the dominant left hemisphere, “responsible” for logical thinking, and white-pink - about the dominant "creative" right hemisphere.
Naturally, in reality, a person’s inclinations cannot be judged by what colors he sees in the picture - the influence of the “dominant” hemisphere on perception is outright misinformation, and the very idea of the “creative” and “logical” hemispheres of the brain is a common and repeatedly refuted myth. However, the image caught the attention of numerous internet users.
The most "sensible" illusion of this kind can be considered n, and some could at first be sure of one of these options, and after some time suspect that the photograph was simply replaced. As Jane Nitz, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington, explained back then, the reason for such disputes is that the human brain always perceives certain colors, focusing on “context”. Therefore, different people interpreted the lighting in a photograph in different ways, and therefore subconsciously “filtered out” different shades.
In November last year, a largely similar one was published. Other similar images have appeared on the Internet several times (including with, like the above sneakers), but compared to the dress, they attracted much less attention.

British Nicole Coulthard (Nicole Coulthard) put on public display a photo of Vans sneakers, which was sent to her by one of her friends.
The catch is that she still can't figure out what color these sneakers are - gray with mint blue laces or pinkish with white laces.
The girl herself claims that the shoes are pink. However, she wanted to know the opinion of Facebook users. Nicole posted a photo and asked what people think of her.
"What do you guys see in the photo? Please confirm that the color of the sneakers is pink and white," Nicole captioned the photo.
The girl said that her friend bought the shoes some time ago and sent a photo of her mother. To which she confidently stated that "blue suits her."
