So, did you say pink is green??
Do you often have conversations about the colour of colours???
If so, what colour is red???????

Don't start that again Sarge!
It was bad enough when Venus posted that thread about what colour was the word etc... and then analysed us all for having an arguement about the word yellow was tuquoise or blue? confused

Oh, I'm all confussed now sad

and I can't remember what the thread was called that I'm banging on about so it's really going to bug me now evil

Naughty Sarge!

Oy! I am not your substitute Venus you know! sad

Just cos she is dead clever and had got herself a new job (still sooo proud of you Venus! biggrin

) does not mean I am the one you wave the keys at now and torment! sad

Do you know the thread I am talking about? The one where all the colours were written in different colours and you had to say if you said the colour it was written as or the one it was filled as.
Ohhhh, :doh: There I go again! evil

Like this:
Yellow
Blue
Green
Pink
Purple

funny thing about colour, its all to do with reflecting light and the way our brains comprehend it yes really, In total darkness "colour" does not exist ! all is black !

11 Apr 2005

peenut, you fascinate me.
Black is the absence of colour and is not technically a colour itself. biggrin

Why do I find intelligence such a turn on? :rascal:

Have you been talking with Parrot?? confused

So Yellow is Cyan (what IS Cyan??)
Blue is Red
Green is Indigo
Pink is Green
Purple is Yellow
So does this mean you prefer Judy to post in Yellow (Mixed threads!!) rolleyes

Yeah and whether you see the word or the colour first means something really deep and ..... erm..... meaningful ..... redface

...... about your personality or learning style or something very head probingly complicated. confused

Oh and as for me and parrot talking, erm, not likely, and on that note I'm also going to stop hijacking his thread before he gets mad at me for that too. rolleyes

You silly woman!!! Of course it's not purple - It's indigo. rolleyes

Do you not recognise indigo when you see it??? :shock: :shock: :shock:
Anyway, purple is yellow according to Little Gem confused

you knew I couldn't keep out of here didn't you! lol

How dare you say I said purple was yellow and then tell me it's not. In this excersise, purple is the word purple but it happens to be coloured in yellow, so it's not *actually* yellow really it's purple. Well that is..... yellow is yellow when it is coloured yellow, but on here right now the word yellow is in fact cyan (turquoise or light blue for you sarge). I think that about covers it!
:P

I see the words first. To name the actual colours while looking at the words needs a moment of conscious effort on my part.
Any idea what that's meant to reveal about me? dunno

So let me get this straight! :shock: :shock: :shock:
You didn't say Purple was Yellow, but you are upset that someone may have suggested it wasn't. Purple just HAPPENS to be Yellow, but it's not Yellow really, because the Yellow on here is an option of Light Blue or Turquoise, unless you choose Cyan !! confused

Yep that just about covers it!!! rolleyes

Erm..... you're colourblind??? dunno

I don't know and I really wish I could find the thread about it, I've been looking for it for ages now and still can't find it. confused

Mind if it was Venus that posted it I could be here all night going through the over 4000 posts and thread she has contributed. All very nice until you come to try to find things. confused

It was a quite interesting one too. sad

Judy, :thumbup: pass the vodka honey! I need to shove the empty bottle in Sarge's mouth! ;) lol

Might keep him quiet while I settle down into bed all chilled and not irritated at the fact I am soooo predicable he can goad me into returning to a thread.

I found this:

Apparently one part of your brain sees the colour and another part of your brain sees the word...

Quote by Some brainy sod
One of the earliest surviving assessments from this period is the Porteus Maze, developed as a psychometric test of intelligence in 1914 by Stanley Porteus of the University of Hawaii, and in constant use ever since . The technique addresses the logically opposed hypothetical constructs of "planfulness" and "impulsiveness", and is scored by counting the number of false trails on the response sheet. Another early test was devised by John Ridley Stroop (1897-1973), and requires subjects to name the ink colours used when reading printed stimulus words (Stroop, 1935). Thus the correct answer for the stimulus <walk> is "red", not "walk". The problem is that reading printed words is a very automatic act in appropriately trained adult subjects, and so there is an "attentional conflict" situation (Pardo et al, 1990), in which the response of first impulse needs to be consciously suppressed in favour of the colour-response. Even more interference comes when the printed words are themselves colour names, but not matching the ink colour. The Stroop test is valuable as a clinical screening tool because brain injury - and specifically frontal brain injury - renders patients less able to control this interference, whereupon they respond automatically. The test has been in constant use ever since it was first introduced, and the latest research regularly implicates the anterior cingulate gyrus in the selection of the appropriate response under conditions of doubt (see, for example, Pardo et al, 1990). Try this for yourself: read the following ink colours out loud as fast as you can .....
BLUE
YELLOW
GREEN
RED
PURPLE
BROWN

I wonder if this right brain/left brain conflict has a bearing on sexual attraction: It may be a completely bogus analogy, but it occurs to me that some people are more interested in looks and some people are more interested in personality, and I'm just wondering whether that could be down to which side of the brain is dominant in the particular individual. dunno

Same here, but all I could work out from the previous post was that I may have damaged my brain at some point! lol

Oooh, another thread about the Stroop effect :shock:

12 Apr 2005

I was going to comment that in pigment the colour if the item is anything or indeed everything but the colour you perceive, red is not red, but all colours but red are absorbed by the item, leaving red to be the only one that is reflected into your eye.
Light sources, for instance your computer monitor is different as the light is produced and not reflected. Hope this helps.

Are you talking about this VenusnMars post?

You mean it's caused by too much alcohol?

this game of writin the names of colours in 'the wrong colour' has been goin on for before any of us existed. Im stuck in a house with a physcology student and these games float their boat somthing serious!
Just from a maths point of view some super dude came up with a matrix of numbers explainin how everybody sees colours differently! now there was somebody with to much spare time!!

He's also wrong:
Test after test has shown that the colour combination having the most dramatic effect on the human brain, is Black and Yellow. Wasps are black and yellow, and most humans are afraid of them. This is fortunate from the wasp's point of view, because it means we tend to stay out of their way. Evolution has given wasps a trait that enhances their survival chances by making them scarey-looking.
Now, if you and I saw colours differently, if you saw yellow the way I see blue for example, the wasp would have a different visual effect on you than it has on me. But it doesn't. When you say "yellow" I know exactly what colour you're thinking of.

About the dangers of "fuzzy logic" A scienist trained a spider to respond to colours by moving on them weaving a web etc. in order to investigate further the scientist pulled all the spiders legs off and found that the spider then no longer responded. The conclusion reached was that if you remove a spiders legs, it becomes colourblind ! biggrin

nope soz im not wrong mate i have to study this boring shit and everybody sees colours slightly different. I'm not sayin i see blue and you see red just little differences. Cus this maths chap got famous coming up with matrix's which had the equations within them to explain the differences.
So yeah ur prob rite as in for wotever reason every1 fears yellow and black but just the exact shade of yellow and black is different!
this is getting a bit on the deep side, i need to get out more, joy of revision for all to fast approaching exams! smile
