I'm aware of studies regarding functional differences of the brain hemispheres but I don't see any connection to colour perception and haven't read about such. Colour persistency illusion is also investigated (Grey strawberries - The Illusions Index) and I haven't read anyone making connection to hemisphere dominance there either.

I agree.

I agree. The shoes are actually pink and white. we who see it green are in error. Although some scientists have examined the matter, I could not find very clear answer.

Is this shoe pink or grey? What you see tells something interesting about you - Times of India

THE DIFFERENCE IS DUE TO USE OF FLASH AND A BIT OF DARKENING. Without flash shoe appears perfectly pink. But with flash some can see through and still find the shoe pink.

The left picture is the original shoe without flash. On the right is the picture of the same shoe taken under flash.

Very interesting. I am left brain dominant like I thought. Amazes me that some people would see pink.

I thought that I was left brained too.
So it turns out that I'm all airy fairy right brained.

I wouldn't say that those who see green and grey are in error. In the picture of the shoes, they are grey and green, as Shadow Wolf and I have shown. (Which is an artefact produced by the flash.)

Btw.: I saw pink and green and I'm very analytical.

This left brain, right brain stuff in connection with seeing colours is BS (or at least not backed up by science). I saw pink and I haven't been accused of being right brained. (Pea-brained, yes, that happens frequently.)

My sarcasm might've suggested a wee bit'o sarcasm.

I just checked. It is factually green, but not by much as the RGB values are close with green being out ahead just enough to show over the white. And here's just the laces, side, and sole of the shoe.

This reminds me of the problem we had back in 90s and 00s in the publishing unit...it became important that we knew and could adjust for the differences between various electronic displays, and between those and what would show up when a color image was actually printed, because in a few cases, the approved image on the screen looked nothing like the final print or video...which made for some VERY dissatisfied customers...

I checked. They aren't pink. Those green laces I posted are directly from the original image and verified it by checking the values. They are factually green, and mechanically verified to be green.

And keep in mind, the left brain/right brain thing is a myth.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Grey now. The second picture is grey with pink laces.

That's the negative of the original.
That the negative shows red is further evidence the color is green and red is the opposite of green.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Is anyone else bothered by the use of the letter 'u' to replace 'you' in the OP image?

I loathe the proliferation of text speak into anything. Even text messages.

The split brain was brought to the world’s attention half a century ago by Roger W. Sperry and colleagues. Sperry was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1981 for this work.

The idea has been around longer than that. And we know that different regions of the brain do different things. But that does not support the left/right brain hypothesis as the brain regions include the frontal cortex which does its own thing and its not really left or right.

Those two are exactly the same. Assuming one of them is real (they could both be edited), the other is apparently the result of photo editing, not flash. And we can definitely see where it's more than a little darkening because the thumb looks almost dead in the picture on the right.

Nah, you’re just left brained with color blindness.

 

[Revoltingest]

Not blind....just different colors.

@JustGeorge @Orbit @Twilight Hue @Revoltingest @Conscious thoughts @aketo @Mock Turtle

@Shadow Wolf has edited the image for us and removed any hue from the laces, the stripes and the soles in post #24. The fabric of the shoes is unchanged.

Do you still see pink?

I saw pink laces/soles and white shoes.

Good catch. The photo on the right definitely looks edited from that on the left (the left looking natural). There is no difference in angle, how the shoe is held or the shadows. You'd expect at least small changes when the photos had been taken at different times. (And especially different shadows when a flash had been used.)

The angle most definitely is the biggest give away. It can't be two separate pictures but yet be exactly the same angle and positioning (you'd basically have to have the subject on a solid, non moving platform and using a camera tripod to pull that off, but we know he used his hands so replicating the exact angle isn't going to happen). And with flash, well, we'd see signs of a flash. such as a clearly defined shadow of the shoe on the hand, along with things being more white with the exposure, not darker.

I suspect it was a deliberate attempt at replicating the strawberry illusion:

Probably, or something like it. What color are they supposed to be? Looks like the strawberries are dead and in a morgue.
