Eigengrau is perceived as lighter than a black object in normal lighting conditions, because contrast is more important to the visual system than absolute brightness. For example, the night sky looks darker than eigengrau because of the contrast provided by the stars.
Take it to the Random facts you find interesting thread.
This is really interesting. In Principal Component Analysis, eigen values greater than one could be perceived as factors after a rotation (verimax/promax). Eigen in German means self or one's perception (sometimes from the self) (via wikipedia, not me). The translation of eigengrau means self gray/ashen or one's perception of darkness. Pretty cool word and it would make and awesome band name. Nice fact of the day!

Does this all mean that we need contrast to experience the color black, and if that is the case, does black even exist? Or is it simply that we only see eigengrau but that it seems darker because of the contrast? If that is the case, black isn't even a figment of our imagination, it is a physical creation of our shitty eyes? I mean, if we are in complete darkness and see something lighter, that seems to be the case to me.
Train conductors never really check tickets they just walk around and hole punch stuff and collect cash for tickets from total rubes.

Have you ever seen someone get booted from a train in real life?
So on the flipside is pure white really just eggshell white to our eyes? How does this affect our kitchen appliances?

A tour guide on a bus in NYC told me that some women, but not all, have a 4th set of cones that lets them see different shades that others can't differentiate. No idea if he knew what he was talking about, but he seemed smart.

Really?
You didn't get what set of cones he was talking about?
i think he was being hur hur and talking about breasts.

How would you know if you had these extra cones?
Do extra cones allow you to differentiate between different shades better or allow you (or a shrimp) to see part of the spectrum that people can't see (like ultraviolet)?
what do you guys think those extra colors look like? like, green'ish probably?prob not that great

I don't think you even have words to describe them.
what if everyone saw colors differently?
for instance- i see orange. ive learned that that color in my mind is orange, so i call it orange. you see what i see as green, but in your mind its also orange. we would never know that were seeing different colors because weve learned it that way. how do you describe colors without other colors or objects? it would be impossible. think about that.

My psych prof posed this exact question like day 3 of class. Says there is an orange chair in the corner of the room, we all look at it and now see the color orange because he declared it as such. Said that colors may not exist, only assigned by our minds. Physics disagrees.
Also, we have what we need to describe other colors. It's frequency range.

fun fact of the day that i just read: michael jackson didn't sleep for the last 60 days of his life. :horrorsurprise:
How the eff would anyone know he didn't achieve REM for sixty days? Goddamnit Mikey.
