In this video I see if you can see this forbidden color! I explain what a forbidden color is and then I actually show you that you cannot see it in a real experiment. I talk about why bluish yellow and reddish green is a color that no one can see. Then I show you a way that you may be able to see a new color that you have never before realized. Most people cannot see this color.

Doing the cross-eye thing, the best way I could describe it is that it looked like when you put two objects in the exact same space on a 3d modeler and it starts flashing both colors (called z-fighting) but never mixes. it was smoother than normal z-fighting though, it looked like the colors were swirling around each other

I saw a video about this same idea from Kyle Hill a few months back in which he had a similar test, not only to see yellowish blue, but also greenish red, and under the right circumstances I was able to perceive both. I actually find the yellowish blue to be a beautiful color and I wish it could appear as a normal color; I would paint my house that color if I could.

This is one of my main pet peeves. Artists keep perpetuating the myth that the primary colors are Red, Blue and Yellow. There is a difference between "Active colors" and "Passive colors". The active primary color set (projected light) is Red, Blue and Green. Active colors can be added together to create different colors. Passive colors (reflective surfaces, like paint or ink) absorb colors and can be combined to subtract color. So, the real color wheel for paint and printer ink is Magenta, Cyan and Yellow. I believe that artists from long ago saw Blue as being similar to Cyan and Red as being similar to Magenta and chose them as primaries, being the most common in nature. Mixing Blue and Yellow paint does not produce Green, but mixing Cyan and Yellow does. Mixing Blue and Green light produces Yellow.

@keithg460
@keithg460 Рік тому
@@lankyceiling That is a common misconception. Red and yellow and blue are Not the primary colors in paint. Magenta, cyan, and yellow are. That is why printers use them. You can actually get Red by mixing magenta and yellow. You can get blue by mixing cyan and magenta. That is true blue. Blue, Green, and Red light mixed together make white. Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta mixed together (ink or paint) make either gray or black, depending on the type of pigments used. Printers use Black ink for that reason, because the ink is slightly translucent, so the mixture is gray. If you use Red, Blue, and Yellow paint, you cannot create Cyan or Magenta shades of paint. If you try adding white paint, it desaturates it and makes grayish.

I saw it! I’ve done this so many times and never saw it. I don’t know what is different now, but I saw it. The yellow and blue didn’t flip back and forth like before, they faded in and out of each other, going from yellowish blue to blueish yellow. Never green. It is kinda like a reddish orange or pinkish magenta. When the color is so close to both that you find yourself focusing on it to see which it is closer to. Only with this I felt it wasn’t as bright as either alone. More faded than muted.

Donald Kronos I thought at first you got the colors wrong, but I think maybe you just got the semantics wrong? "Yellow tinted green" for instance means more green than yellow (the yellow is only a "tint"). Which would be in between chartreuse and pure green, but would normally just be called green. Whereas I think what you meant to say is equal parts yellow and green, which would indeed be chartreuse.

When I crossed my eyes, I saw flashing between yellow and blue. When I relaxed my eyes, I saw a gradient from blue to yellow and sometimes a tiny hint of greenish grey in the middle. The gradient slowly fluctuates from more yellow to more blue, but it still feels like either yellow or blue. Fascinating stuff! This is why I love Action Lab: simple and engaging experiments that explain the more complex concepts behind them. Reminds me of when I used to watch Bill Nye as a kid.
@yuriination
@yuriination 8 місяців тому
I notice the cross that was in the yellow side, turns blue. And the cross on the blue side stays white. The color they turn could be described as a yellowish blue, or a bluish yellow. But it depends on where, in the fade, I can hold my gaze at. Its like seeing one filter over or under another without them mixing through each other. Now I'm wondering what people would see in a picture that alternated between blue and yellow pixels, like the way Lichtenstein does his magnified comic book panels.

It took me a long time to do it, but I can finally see it. Put your finger in front of you, not too close that it's hard to focus on, and keep moving yourself backward until the crosses intersect in the blurry background you see. The color is much like what others say. It's sort of grey, but not really. To me, it seems more yellow than blue. Blue shows up more on the yellow side, and yellow shows up more on the blue side. If I can't focus perfectly, it actually looks like both blue and yellow are occupying the same area at the same time, without looking like any new color. But with perfect focus, right in the middle, it definitely combines. I can sort of imagine it afterwards, but not very well. My brain just doesn't want to understand or keep what I just saw. I can imagine the blue-yellow overlap a bit easier. It doesn't even look that odd, it doesn't even seem like a new color, even though I've definitely never seen it before. It looks 'most similar' to green-grey, but certainly isn't. It looks like a regular color, but it isn't. You expect it to be shocking once you finally see it, a new color, but it seems mundane. This is a very peculiar phenomenon. I'm fascinated.

Like, purple is a warm-cold color, while bluish-yellow is a cold warm color. Dusk and dawn essentially. I know that doesn't sound likes it makes sense, but that's the best way I can describe it.

@@yinyang2385 I didn't see purple, but as I said, what I saw felt like the opposite of purple. An indescribable "bluish-yellow" color that isn't green. Since purple and green are complimentary colors, my best guess is that what I saw could possibly be in the middle of that spectrum, but even then purple and green ALSO don't mix the same way blue and yellow do. A color that I can see but not comprehend, you know what I mean?

I'm late to this party, but... As I was crossing my eyes, trying to get the two symbols to align, I would see a shifting of the two colours. The shift was very much like the mixing of two fluids. Once I got the two symbols aligned and could keep the image stable the fluid shift stopped and instead I saw something that I would describe as yellowish blue. The blue colour was lighter than the solid block with hints of yellow showing through. If I could hold it for a while the two solid blocks would fade out and all I would see would be the yellowish blue block.
@ArmorofTruth
@ArmorofTruth 4 роки тому
Nathan Lunn very interesting. As long as I held my eyes that way I only saw blue or yellow, never a mixture of the two. I think that's what the studies indicated - we are the typical test group I guess. I'd sure love to see a new color though...
@ModelLights
@ModelLights 4 роки тому
@@ArmorofTruth OK first, Brad, don't feel like you're missing that much. While it does settle into a color once I get it aligned, it's like you're seeing the yellow field behind a roughly 20% or 30% darker than clear blue transparent filter (something that may well not work in real life, with subtracting filtering, it may alter the yellow) with the brightnesses shown in the video. While it's neat to see, it isn't even remotely like getting yellow from red and green, or purple from red + blue. Not even 1/10th as striking as that, maybe not even 1/100th of that. So you're not really missing that much. Even if that doesn't work, think of that yellow background not being modified through a blue filter, but the yellow seen clearly through a blue filter, as an even mix. So concepts you can easily understand and put together in your mind even without working in reality, it's not some super new color like purple.
@ModelLights
@ModelLights 4 роки тому
Nathan, I was going to write almost exactly the same thing. Being a tech and extremely accurate person, I was expecting to get the alternating yellow / blue effect due to dominance shifting or a similar idea. Instead, when aligned and settled in, it snaps to a solid field of even, blue-tinted yellow, like seeing the still correct pure yellow field through a blue filter (which may not actually be possible with yellow and a real physical blue filter). Also as you describe, when I have the + marks nearly aligned but not quite, I get shifting. But I see all 3, I see some blueish-yellow areas, but then it's like solid blue bleeds through in some places, solid yellow in others, and the edges of the areas move around like a fluid. As I get the pluses to align fully, the entire area snaps into place and it becomes a single even field of blue tinted yellow. I'd really like to see the same images with the yellow taken down about 20%, and the blue made stronger by 10% increments, I think with the brightnesses adjusted it might become a more evenly intermediate color. As it was the yellow was significantly stronger. Anyway just wanted to echo your comment, it is definitely a thing, people aren't imagining it or not quite setting the test up right or similar. Not the 'new purple' or similar I was hoping it could be, but it was definitely its own thing made up of two already familiar things mixed together.

I used a vr headset and made it so i could clearly focus on the two crosses as a single 3d point in space. The colors sort of morphed and would take turns being either yellow or blue throughout my vision. Eventually if i focused enough i ended up seeing a sort of weird green that wasnt quite what i would call green. It is very difficult to describe but it was very clearly neither yellow nor blue. Shaking my head a little in the vr headset also helped achieve this effect but it wasnt necessary.

Thanks for the interesting video. I was able to see a stable bluish-yellow color around the cross. Something that helped, and perhaps you can ask the viewers to do is: as they cross their eyes to look at the two sides of the screen, to put their hands, with fingers together in front of their face with a gap in between the hands, so that with the left eye they are only looking at the right cross (the hands are covering the other one), and with the right eye they are only looking at the left cross. You get more stable images that way and the brain can combine them more easily.

if you have equal amounts of yellow and blue, you will get a darker or lighter grey, min to black, max to white. If you have more yellow and less blue, you will get a sort of beige or olive. If you have less yellow and more blue, then you will get a bluish-grey. Likewise, red + cyan or green + magenta. They are opposite hues on the color wheel. So they combine and partially or fully cancel out to give you a grayish, duller, more neutral color.

I’ve been seeing a greenish halo mostly in the orbits around the “A” where the bright yellow is contrasted against the black on top of the medium grey shirt the whole video. It almost hums or buzzes. In the cross eye experiment. I can’t quite get the crosses aligned but as they get close the blue square’s cross seems brighter and sharper, while the yellow square’s cross slips over to the blue side with a blue yellow hallo.

I have dominant vision in my right eye, and around 25% vision in my left eye due to extreme long-sightedness (I am long-sighted in both but much ore so in my left eye). As I paused the image, and tried to focus / cross my eyes using the method of drawing my finger close to my eyes, a very bright image did not do anything. When I reduced the brightness, the yellow took on a blue-ish hue with a stronger yellow halo at the border of the yellow. The blue, interestingly, began to look slightly red-ish at the same time. It might be the colour mixing on my device, but it was strange. The yellow looked a bit like a dirty yellow, or greyish blue yellow. I don't know if this is that phenomena, but it was unusual.

I did that with red and green too and they they became uniform - no spots of red or green only, it was like one one color but green and red tone were peaking from under the other in a very uniform way. It’s hilarious cause recently I listened to creepypasta about a dude who created magenta-green color paint and only few ppl saw it as magenta-green, it was described in a very similar way: uniform color but you see kind of both of the tones from under another - well basically in the story the color was not meant for this world so he went crazy and killed himself 😅

I watched your other video on how some colors are shades of other colors like how black is a darker shade of white. You also discussed in that video that mixing all colors of paint turns into a black color which is just a shade of white... when you mix yellow and blue paint you get green paint so is there possibly a lighter shade of green that just happens to be associated with white light like the black paint is associated with white light? Separate from this question: I do notice some patches of green when you shined blue and yellow but only when you shined a certain amount of each one... at time 4:54 I see a little tiny bit of green and top left I see a tiny bit of magenta... at time 4:43 I see a lot of green top right... at time 4:51 I actually still see green top right but nowhere else... it very odd... iss there an explanation for this? maybe since all the lights are shining at the white board at different angles... the colors will be different depending on where the lights are shining from... I noticed also that the top left portion is still magenta for a good portion of this transition. Bluish-yellow should just be green but only in certain instances I guess.

Some people see yellowish blue or green or flash between yellow and blue when each eye gets a different color to view and their brain is forced to make a decision as to what color it is seeing from each half of the brain. That is different from both eyes getting both yellow and blue light at the same time to view where what the brain receives on both sides is the same. I saw a really odd looking pale green, almost dirty looking.

I know this is an old video; just caught it this morning. Around the same timeframe (maybe 4-5 years ago), I was doing a similar experiment at the sensory (retinal) level instead of the perceptual (cortical) level. I constructed an Arduino-based system with an RGB LED feeding into diffuser (a small acetel sphere). I alternated flashes between R (approx 660nm wavelength) and G (approx 520nm). Two knobs controlled the relative percentage of time on each as well as the overall flash frequency. The purpose of this was to disrupt the R/G discharge times. I got similarly interesting results. At relatively low frequencies, there were distinct RG flashes. At high frequencies, yellow. But at a middling frequency, it was... confusing. It was neither red nor green nor yellow, nor did it swim/alternate between them. The best way to describe the perception was "both red and green".
