Thank you for your concerns, but I'm pretty sure I can see for real, I'm not imagining anything.



Unless you have a wonderful mutation, your colour perception in almost all of your peripheral vision is imaginary.

As is mine.

I have the impression you took the other post personally when it’s about all humans.


It indeed seems I have much better peripheral vision than most people, so you might be right. As I wrote in the other post, I have tested that I can definitely see color in my peripheral vision.


I did the test as well, asking someone to old coloured pens on the periphery of my vision and i wasn't able to tell them apart.


Out of interest, what was your test?


Random color generator. The precision goes down on the far periphery, (the colors usually look more saturated than they are), but the basic color is right. In near-mid periphery (~45°), the colors seem normal.


Good work. Have you included randomised brightness to avoid accidentally learning the difference between what the computer thinks is constant brightness and what your eyes respond to constantly? (Such as “green seems brighter than red”)?


It was just random RGB colors. I didn't train for it and I doubt it's possible to learn anyway.


Good work.

If it had been HSV(rand, 1, 1), which you didn’t do, I would anticipate accidentally learning to map subjective brightness to hue. But you avoided that entirely, so no matter :)
