Now let’s see Paul Allen’s wall.
Look at that subtle warm white colouring. The tasteful edge detailing. Oh my God, it even has aligned brush strokes!
They’re clearly different, even under the bad lightning.
The wall is made using a very brightly white plaster.
On the other hand your sample is more muted drawing a bit toward some sort of warm brown.
You can see golden crust forming on the jpeg already. Don’t look away or it’ll get fry too deep
Some better lighting would help, for sure. OP’s wife is clearly trying to use gaslighting, and it’s just not working.
Or OP is, telling her it’s the same color.
Most humans are trichromats which means they possess 3 independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the 3 different types of cone cells in the eye.
Tetrachromats have 4 independent channels for conveying color information, derived from 4 different types of cone cells in the eye. This lets them see a larger color space than trichromats.
Maybe your wife is a tetrachromat.
Funnily enough there’s actually sexual dimorphism in human vision. While studies about exactly how different the structure of the eye is and how it might differ from an assumed objective commonalities is still not conclusive it’s thought Female phenotypic people supposedly do tend to have higher color differentiation on average and are better at recognition of static objects while Male phenotypic people have better night vision and ability to interpret objects in motion.
So a guy holding up two paint swatches they can’t tell the difference in and being confused is basically a cross cultural phenomenon.
Yeah but printers are optimized for trichromats and these color swatches are printed, so they should look the same to a tetrachromat as everyone else.
Which gives makes me feel bad for them cause all printed media, and any TV, monitor, or phone display that can’t do 1000+ nit HDR must look very dull and unrealistic to a tetrachromat. Hell, even HDR 400 (the minimum standard) in of itself is still a relatively niche feature, let alone HDR 1000+.
This is a level of petty that people with too much time, money, or lack of true purpose in life have motivation to pursue.
Got to warm the room up by a few shades!
Seriously I would just get a led bulb and change color in room that way. Of course there is no nautral light where I live so maybe that doesn’t work everyone.
Wait, how is there no natural light where you live?
You mean, like in your specific home?
They live in Moria.
Could be Dark City maybe.
Very similar life style but less murders.
Rock and Stone baby!
I am sick of white walls
Honestly this. I began calling any white offshoot simply “Dirty white”. Bring color into my life, I beg you…sadly, I live in small flat, so dark colors ain’t an option.
Same. I’ve decided to do at least one mural in each room to live the place up more. I might paint my bedroom ceiling to look like space and stick some of those glow in the dark stars up there lol
Ooh, is there an art Lemmy you’d post that on? I love murals and have done a few myself. I will say they take a long time just to get the paint up on the wall. The creative part isn’t so hard, just getting that volume of paint up there is time consuming af
I work at a hardware store and I mix paint. I see shit like this every single day.
Women see more colors than men.
The results of this study showed that overall, females gave more correct responses (P < 0.001) and also took less time (P < 0.01) than males. Color wise also, females gave more correct responses especially for red (P < .001) and green color (P < 0.01). The conclusion states that the females can see more shades of colors than males.
So she can go get the paint.
Once over dust, twice over rust
It’s obviously a warmer white compared to the clinical colder white they have currently. Warmer colours just feel more homely. I wouldn’t want a cold officey white in my house
This isn’t a painting problem. This is a lighting problem
It can be both, warm lights don’t massively affect how cold/warm something is compared to other objects
The light is clearly a cold light, and the reflection magnifies that effect. The sample is much less reflective.
I’m no expert but, wouldn’t this be the sheen/finish of the paint itself?
Sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that, due to the placement of the camera, we are not getting a fully accurate comparison. Need more neutral lighting for that.
maybe shes got that extra cone so her color differentiation is greater
Make sure you use a good coat of primer so that the old color doesn’t show through. 😉
It looks to me like the only difference is that the card is flatter than the wall
It looks like it might be slightly a slightly warmer tone to me
Nice, can do jack shit and tell her you made the change and you won’t even be lying.
I’ll always upvote a Red Dwarf reference o7
