Color Survey Results
Who in the rainbow can draw the line where the violet tint ends and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blendingly enter into the other? So with sanity and insanity. Orange, red? I WILL EAT YOUR HEART WITH A FUCKING SPOON IF YOU AKS ANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT COLORS —Anonymous, Color Survey Thank you so much for all the help on the color survey. First, a few basic discoveries: If you ask people to name colors long enough, they go totally crazy. Overall, the results were really cool and a lot of fun to analyze. Sex By a strange coincidence, the same night I first made the color survey public, the webcomic Doghouse Diaries put up this comic (which I altered slightly to fit in this blog, click for original): Basically, women were slightly more liberal with the modifiers, but otherwise they generally agreed (and some of the differences may be sampling noise). So I was feeling pretty good about equality. PenisGayWTFDunnoBaige Related:  Visualization

Cone Action Spectra Human Cone Action Spectra In most vertebrates that have what humans term “color vision”, there appear to be three classes of cones, based on their absorption spectra. Although many fundamental aspects of color vision remain to be worked out, the chemistry of the cones’ visual pigments is pretty much the same as in the rods. A photon is absorbed by a cis-11-retinal, converting it to the trans- configuration and initiating the phototransduction process. One of the most important differences between cones and rods is in the amino acid sequence of the opsin component of the rhodopsin molecule. The cones in the three classes of vertebrate cone differ in their absorption spectra because the amino acid sequence of their opsin molecules (opsin is the protein component of rhodopsin, the visual pigment that actually absorbs photons) differs.
