It was the lighting of the specific picture in question that threw things off, because it was skewed /just/ enough towards yellow to trick the eye initially.
But that also varied depending on the color balance of the /screen/ you viewed it on. It's much less ambiguous outside of that context.
@emanate @mmsword @Ratttz Okay, but literally everything in the background was shifted so far color temperature-wise that anyone *should* be able to tell it was, in fact, black and blue.
Like... maybe I'm just that privileged in never having bought shit monitors or phones or being an artist or whatever, but this feels like color theory 101 to me.
Not everyone is that observant, and the eyes have all sorts of weird tricks you can play on them through context and first impressions and even mental suggestibility.
It's not /that/ obvious to everyone. This is not... um. A black and white situation. Or even black and blue.
@Thaminga
You may be overestimating who does and doesn't have a trained artist or colorist eye.
Heck I even have excellent color vision myself and still thought for a while that it could be yellow and black, because that was what I first saw.
It's like a Necker Cube.
Apologies. I can only explain so many times in reply to "I don't understand". Sorry if I came across harshly.
@emanate it's fine! I'll probably never understand it, honestly. Even I've got lessons to learn, at the end of the day.
