That is quite awesome information! We all perceive color slightly differently I think because our eyes don't see colors exactly the same, so unless we all agree and see what exactly makes pink "pink" than what is pink to one can be purple to another or lavender or whatever. :Silly:
Experiments have found that whether or not you can register a color depends on whether or not you have a name for it in your language. You can see the color, it just doesn't register in your mind.One study compared some young children from England with kids from a tribe in Nambia. In the English language, young kids usually learn 11 basic colors (black, white, gray, red, green, blue, yellow, pink, orange, purple and brown) but in Himba it's only five. For instance, they lump red, orange and pink together and call it "serandu."If you showed the Himba toddler a pink card and then later showed him a red one and ask if they're the same card, the kid would often mistakenly say yes -- because they're both "serandu." Same as if you showed you "Eggshell" and an hour later showed you "Bone" and asked if it was the same card from before. Now, again, they can see the colors; if you hold up a pink card and a red card next to each other, the English kid and Himba kid both would say they're different. But not when they see them one at a time.
I vote we change her to yellow.
huh, color can be so tricky...that color you posted above I would definitely call purple, but the pony doesn't look that color to me...But I also know it's hard to tell since how we perceive color is also influenced by what colors are around it, along with everything else mentioned. I wouldn't call her magenta though. That's what I'd call Cadence's color based on that picture above.
She's heliotrope.
