hey did you know your peripheral vision is made up
this box will change to a random color every five seconds. if you get it in your periphery just right, you should be able to see a color that just straight up isn't there! isn't that weird!

holy heck that's rather dramatic actually...I feel like there might at least be a consistent spectral shift? maybe depending on what we're looking straight at? not at all sure about that tho ~Chara
this is pretty neat. there is one thing that your peripheral vision gets right tho, you aren't seeing straight lines.
you're seeing grayscale out there, it's literally just your brain filling in what it thinks is there based on surroundings, pretty much exactly like photoshops content aware fill! same goes for your blind spots
Eyes are stumbling into work on the first day, hung over, panicking, “oh man I can’t do this job properly, I’m so unqualified, idk how I got hired” and their old friend Brain just claps ‘em on the back, “bro, don’t worry, I’ll cover for you, I got this” and forty years later the scam is still going
i'm doing my absolute best to get this to the edge of my peripheral vision but i either get reasonably close to the correct color or i can't really see anything other than it changing
idk it seems to just be slightly inaccurate for me. a little brighter, a little morr saturated, or a slightly different hue
edit: oh i think i just wasnt putting it far enough in my peripheral vision
edit 2: nope still 80% accurate 90% of the time
I feel crazy cause I just...see the color? not sure what's supposed to happen
For me, when I stare away from my screen, with it to the side of my head and juuust inside my field of view, the color is correct… right up until it changes.
At that point, if I then turn to look at the screen, I see what color is really being displayed, and it’s consistently very different from what I thought it switched to while seeing it out of the edge of my vision
Interesting! I've tried a lot of these "see not-real colors" tricks, and for some reason, this is the only one that's actually like, worked for me, lmao
