    But I just wouldn’t call that black. Because… it isn’t. The color is sort of muddy and brownish. So I don’t understand why everyone in ‘my’ camp insist on calling it black and nothing else, if that is really what they also see. Especially when there’s a whole bunch of other people calling the same color yellow gold. Anyway, I think some things about this will remain mysterious to me.

      Because your eyes can adjust the image one of two directions, lighter or darker. It’s just that the people started saying “blue and black” before/more often than “blue and dark brown” or something. Plus it’s just easier to say.
