Yaaay...it's back.

Do You See What I See?

Roses are red, violets are blue but according to the latest understanding these colours are really an illusion. One that you create yourself.

Horizon reveals a surprising truth about how we all see the world. You may think a rose is red, the sky is blue and the grass is green, but it now seems that the colours you see may not always be the same as the colours I see. Your age, sex and even mood can affect how you experience colours.

Not sure if BBC content is available outside of the the UK.

Do any other countries take the programme, by the way? I know, when I was a kid, the BBC used to produce Horizon in association with WGBH in Boston.

Not available in your area
Too bad, it sounds interesting.

I had wondered if someone else considered the possibility that what one sees as a given color might not be what another sees. BUT then again I never found a way to prove or disprove this idea.
at least not in the way I was trying to prove it...

Lol

I've actually considered this in the past. Thought I was thinking too much.

Well at least I know what I'm watching tonight.

it was quite enjoyable,

i find the concept of color continuity expecially intriguing, i want to be able to turn it off.
