So interesting all this talk of dreams coming out of thread asking about colours!
As a colour printer I have more or less trained myself (while at work, at any rate) to always break down any colour into its two composite colours. The primaries are Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Secondary are their opposites of Red, Green, and Blue. Cyan is blue and green combined in equal measure. So something that is a true cyan colour such as turquoise often appears to people, can look more blue to some, and more green to others. An apartment I shared with a girlfriend way back in the late seventies was equipped with a cyan stove in the kitchen, and a cyan sofa in the living room. Both of us saw each of these pieces of furniture as one colour or the other, but not the same! So to me the stove was blue and the sofa green, but to her the stove was green and the sofa blue. The ambient lighting in any room will affect how you see something as well. It is likely that not a lot of people will really note the different ways their clothing, for instance, looks under different lighting conditions. Then there is the issue of every device displaying differently... especially if you have your monitor set to go to warmer tones at night in deference to your *circadian rhythms. Then everything will look much cooler than it did when it is operating during the day on normal settings.
*Blue light has the largest impact on circadian rhythms. Blue light receptors in our eyes play a crucial role in regulating our body’s internal clock. Blue light stimulates parts of the brain that make us feel alert, elevating our body temperature and heart rate. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the eye’s retina are particularly sensitive to the absorption of blue light with a wavelength of 480 nm, with previous studies suggesting that wavelengths of 460 nm to 500 nm regulate our circadian rhythm. Eh? LOL
