The Dress: science explains why some see it as white and gold and others see it as blue and black

The video tutorial explains how people interpret color through color consistency, which involves visual cues and previous knowledge. It discusses how the eye perceives color under different lighting conditions, focusing on overexposure and underexposure. Overexposure activates cones sensitive to red, green, and blue, leading the brain to adjust the perceived color. Underexposure activates rods sensitive to black and white, causing the brain to adjust the image to appear lighter.

What is the term used to describe the ability of the eye to determine the correct color of objects despite changing lighting conditions?

• Color blindness

• Color contrast

• Color consistency

• Color saturation

Which type of photoreceptor is activated when a scene is perceived as overexposed?

• Bipolar cells

• Ganglion cells

• Cones

• Rods

When cones are activated due to overexposure, how does the brain compensate for the perceived color?

• By assuming the object is a lighter shade

• By assuming the object is a darker shade

• By increasing brightness

• By decreasing contrast

Which photoreceptors are sensitive to black and white, and are activated when a scene is underexposed?

• Photopsins

• Rods

• Cones

• Melanopsins

How does the brain compensate for underexposure in terms of color perception?

• By increasing saturation

• By removing darker shades

• By decreasing brightness

• By adding darker shades
