Check this out

[Heyo]

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.

When picking the colours with the Gimp it looks like grey and slightly darker grey.
I did see pink and green, neither pink&white nor green&grey (just as I saw blue and gold in the dress, not gold&white or black&blue).
Last time I was right (at least I agreed with the colour analysis of Gimp), this time there seems to be no pink in the picture anywhere. It is grey and grey with the lighter grey having a slight green-blue tinge.
(Values around (130, 130, 130) and (130, 160, 160).)

That image I posted, I lifted those parts of the shoe directly from the original image and pasted them into a new image with a solid color background so there is no trickery.
I used Paint Shop Pro 2020 to do that, as well as check the RGB values.

I didn't accuse you of trickery, in fact I agree with you.
I'm not a master of image manipulation, so I failed to do what you did but in reverse. Can you post an image with the blue-green parts eliminated? (Practically the reverse of what you posted.)
Maybe those of us who see pink will then understand that that is only an illusion coming from the contrast.

I didn't mean to imply or suggest I thought you were. Just trying to explain what I was doing.

Sure.

There are definitely some reds in the shoe. And the negative to help reveal more.

 

[atanu]

Same here.

Totally expected.

You ain't gonna tell me those laces are grey!

No laces are green or teal for me. Very clear.

Sure.

Thank you. Now I see nothing but grey - as it should be.

Of course, after all, you need just as much red as green and blue to make grey. There are even some small areas in the inside where red is the dominant colour. (Something like (90, 70, 70).) But the outside is pure grey.

When I checked again, this time using the dropper tool to get the exact numbers, it seems this is where I was wrong, as though I thought I saw red the spots I checked with the tool do not show red being dominate.
Thus, I saw the shoelaces the correct color but got tripped up by tiny pixels making up the front of the shoe.

Forget the right vs. left myth: You’re whole-brained.

Relived, never thought I was not. People get such funny ideas.

They sure do. Like the idea we only use 10% of our brain. The very same brain imaging that shows we use our entire brain definitely simultaneously discards that silly idea, because they tend to show our brains lighting up like a Christmas tree.

Indeed interesting, if it's true about left and right brained

So, I see grey/green. Interesting, so I am left-brained. I did see a little pink too, but the laces are green for sure, not white at all, how people do not see the green color, I can't understand. It's so very green to me.

The theory is that people are either left-brained or right-brained, meaning that one side of their brain is dominant. If you're mostly analytical and methodical in your thinking, you're said to be left-brained. If you tend to be more creative or artistic, you're thought to be right-brained

Note: Looking at this picture, I got left and right thinking totally mixed up, I had to edit my reply 3 times, mixing up left/right. I am "mashed-brained" now

I see green while wife sees soft pink. She says that is why we constantly fight.

I guess your wife did not start a fight, when she found this out, or did she? Otherwise I do not understand the advice to "try out with loved ones"

 

[stvdv]

right eye sees pink and white.
left eye sees grey and green.

That sounds promising for relationships

I checked this too, but I keep seeing green laces for sure; I can't see the laces to be not green, however hard I tried

My first glance at the picture, was a tinge glow of pink though, but for sure with green laces

I am curious who generally starts the fight, is it the "soft pink eyed one" or is it the "green eyed one"

Note: Better don't answer me if its the "soft pink one" standing next to you, looking over your shoulder while you type

I tend to see pink and green.

 

[stvdv]

Grey and green (more of a teal really), which surprised me. Always thought I was more right brained.

I was a bit surprised too, and when replying constantly mixed up right and left. But googling and seeing the difference between left and right, I am for sure strong left-brained, because most of all, I am interested on clear results and quite pragmatic (more practical, not theoretical), and I was never successful in arts

But I do love my intuition, hence maybe my first glance seeing a "pink glow", but I can not unsee the green laces (interesting experiment)

 

[Heyo]

Like the idea we only use 10% of our brain.

I don't know where that idea came from but I suspect someone shortened it from "We only use 10% of our brain's potential." And that is probably true. If we weren't so damn lazy, most of us could boost our memory, computation and maybe also self healing processes by a factor of ten.

I tend to see pink and green.

Balanced person.

Sometimes I have tried to sulk or act angry, but every time I met with devastating results for myself.

I think it is an unequal battle and that is why menfolk pine for salvation.

Thank you for your your informed post. But it is factual that I see green while my wife sees pink.

Also I remember reading Sam Harris’ Waking Up wherein he gives some examples. Although I am not very certain. I got to check it up.

I believe you on what you see. I really don't know much about this but your OP piqued my interest and so I looked it up.

The laces are clearly green though
