Many years ago, when I was learning color printing and color balancing in the darkroom, I noticed there was a slight difference in the color balance between my 2 eyes with the left eye having a very slight yellow shift. That did not come as a surprise to me, but it did get me to thinking, what IF different people had VERY different color perceptions? Not just you seeing slightly more yellow images than I, but the mind creating "pictures" of totally swapped colors. Instead of BLUE, their mind sees RED?

This would not be determinable. In looking at a color chart, from the time they were born, they would be told that the BLUE square was BLUE. They would know nothing else. Even if their mental picture was RED, they would tell you "that's the BLUE square". The examiner would have no way of realizing their subject was in a totally different "color universe" since they would have both learned that the word for BLUE was BLUE, regardless of how the brain pictured it.

Considering the psychological interpretations and effects that color has on people, how might this influence the person on many levels throughout the scope of their life and mental balance?

A weird and obscure concept, but one I've frequently come back to and considered in life.

Does it keep the squirrels from eating the eyeballs?

Beautiful photo. Oddly, yawns are incredibly contagious. I wonder how many of us yawned upon seeing this photo?

Thanks for the instant burn. It's appreciated here in New Jersey!

Glad you'll be safe this holiday season!

Steve is always a great watch and/or read. A true wealth of information.

I'll have a double!

Love it!

This person doesn't sound like they should be trusted. You sound anxious and desperate - a perfect mark for a con. WALK AWAY AND KEEP LOOKING.

I miss him to this day.

A great journalist and human being.

Superb!!!

Great textures!

Ah.... You bring back so many memories for me.

Nice to see he has you well trained.

Boxed lunch, anyone?
