Am I the only one who sees tennis balls more as green than yellow? And no I am not colorblind, it just looks closer to lime green to me then yellow.
Research has found that we experience colors differently, depending on gender, national origin, ethnicity, geographical location, and what language we speak.
to me the ones in the photo are yellow but i usually see them green and imagine them green too
Ya the photo is definitely more yellowish but I play tennis regularly and I always see it as green in person.
I don’t know what you experience as green or yellow. To me those balls look like what I would label yellow (tho on the greenish side rather than the orangeish side), but for all I know, what I actually see is what you would call green. Just that I’ve been taught this color is yellow.
So what if everyone actually has the same favorite color range, they just use different labels for it because they were taught that’s what the color they are seeing is? (I don’t really think that’s how it works, but I don’t know that it isn’t because experience is subjective, and how would you really test it when color names are arbitrary? Fun to think about.)
That's a thought I've always had a well, of we all actually like the same colours. Also could just be how you are raised. I remember calling tennis it green since I was a child and no one disagreed so the colour I see for a tennis ball, my brain sees as more green than yellow. It actually blew my mind when I first realized some people consider that colour to be yellow or at the very least closer to yellow.
Yellow and green are adjacent to each other on the visible spectrum so it’s easy for there to be colors “in between”, like the color of a tennis ball.
They're grellow.
