"Frost Bite" " Green Mana"

I don't know about these names. They seem all vibes.

thought that was slop. why tf is fake-earth crashing into it?

It’s grellow.

Color is definitely a wavelength. The names we give colors like “yellow” or “blue” are massive ranges of wavelengths. That’s the problem here… the ball can be both green and yellow because no body asked if it was yellow-green, they only gave a binary option: “is a tennis ball yellow or green”. It’s neither. It’s between the two.

The technique, known as decorrelation stretch, is used to enhance contrasts in digital imagery. It was first developed by researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in 1978 to improve the interpretation of high-correlation remote sensing and satellite imagery.

Not unlike Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena, the inventor of the color TV transmission system:

He created the first TV station in Mexico XHGC. I remember watching that channel as a kid.

Yeah I even searched it and it like yup something changed in 1907 and it was like a crime. Couldn't even find the actual log entry.

I went to read too make sure and it was just. Nothingness? "Sailor says it changed color, other sailors agreed at the time, end story" okay thanks article!

Welp there's no need to click on this link. The headline says everything.

Ochre Yellow was the answer

To find out which colors can help maximize your home's value, Zillow's 2026 Paint Color Analysis report surveyed over 4,400 recent and prospective home buyers on how interested they were in buying a home based on the color of its bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom. The company found that while neutrals are a staple, playing with color can ultimately pay off in the long run.

"White will always be a timeless, versatile choice, but sellers who default to all-white walls everywhere may be leaving money on the table," said Amanda Pendleton, Zillow's home trends expert, in a press release. "Buyers today respond to homes with soul, and paint is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to add personality and character to a space. The right colors can stop a shopper mid-scroll and instantly create an emotional connection, which ultimately drives higher offers."

Somewhat similar thing, this is what I came up with to quantize to 12-bit-RGB (shorthand hexadecimal, e.g. #AC3 --> #AACC33) in a Godot shader:

COLOR = vec4((round(color.r * 15.0) / 15.0), (round(color.g * 15.0) / 15.0), (round(color.b * 15.0) / 15.0), color.a);

Maybe there's a better way (I'm wasn't sure how to see actual numbers, other than knowing it's linear color space) but it works. For example it takes #135531 in a bit of AA (between label outlines) and turns it to #115533.

They're going to put it in a subscription/DLC scam guaranteed

Stop it

For me they are all purple but whichever one I'm focused on is darker.

The headline is weird - it should be "which purple dot is the darkest?"

Unless I'm seeing something completely different than everyone else.

Still a really interesting phenomenon though

I only see purple dots. I can barely trigger the illusion if I scroll the page up and down rapidly.

Okay interesting. At first I misunderstood the whole thing and then when I got it I didn't immediately notice it. But after staring (and checking with a color picker) I can confirm that there's a color difference of the other dots. But its really subtle at first and I didnt even notice it consciously.

We really know so little about our biology, and a lot of what we think we know is incorrect.

Highest after a couple rounds was 86%. Fun time waster

I'm realizing that the link that gets posted forces the person to play the game to see their own score and yours. Odd.

Apparently something on my browser breaks the UI, but did decently anyway. https://dialed.gg/?c=DAV7P2

I nailed the first one. Then... I did worse on each one following it.
