    I had the blue light filter maxed on my phone and the brightness all the way down and they looked the same. Turning the brightness up made them slightly distinct, and turning the blue light filter off i could see a clear difference.

      You must have a shitty screen. Even with my blue light filter at full intensity and brightness all the way down the colours are easy to distinguish.

      Or you’re colourblind as well…

      It’s funny too because your pic has red hair, brown face, and green clothes, which surely some variety of colorblind will have issue with.

    Fun fact: we perceive brown as a separate color, in reality brown is just a darker shade of orange.

      We perceive it as a different color because we have a specific name for it. Iirc in Mandarin, it is just called dark orange.

        We only have a different word for it because of oranges. Prior to that it was just “red.”

        It would be like if brick-red became so commonly used that people referred to the color as “brick” and people wondered which came first.

        linguistics of color is interesting. classic example is russian having distinct words for light and dark blue as well (golubój/sínij respectively) with no generic “blue”

          In english, blue used to be light, and indigo was a different colour. But now blue is dark, and cyan is a different colour

          To consider this from other languages’ points of view, English has distinct words for light red (pink) and not-light-red (red) with no generic word that refers to both colors.
