You have warped my fragile little brain!
I thought "grey/turquoise", then I confirmed it by looking at the RGB values. Anybody who thinks "pink/white" probably has a bit of colour-blindness. Of course, this photo is the product of its lighting, so there's not much we can do about that.Have we done the grey/pink show thing?
What colour is this shoe? Is it grey/turquoise or pink/white?
People with right brain dominance will see it as pink/white and people with left brain dominance will see it as grey/turquoise. I find it endlessly fascinating that two peole can look at the same picture and see two different things purely because their brain decides what their "reailty" is. Now extrapolate that to everything we see, hear, touch and smell.

I adjusted the colour and I think this is what it should look like:
The fact that he thinks they're both the same? What does that say?Ooh now that is pink and white definitely!
I just showed it to Mr Zebra and he said it is exactly the same as the first picture. I wanted to clarify that so I scrolled back up to the original picture and he says the original one looks slightly darker than the 'adjusted' one (but they are both still pink and white to him)... but...
... and here's the kicker...
... now that I've seen the adjusted one, the original one no longer looks grey and turquoise to me, but now looks a darker pink (than the adjusted one) and a sort of off´-white rather than turquoise.
I'm mightily confused now!!

Matt Johnson, PhD, a professor of neuroscience and founder of neuromarketing blog PopNeuro, wants you to know the cold, hard facts. Whether you see the shoe as green and grey or pink and white has nothing to do with being “left-brained or right-brained.” And, by extension, says zero about how artsy, intellectual, or analytical you are. “There’s a lot of talk about people being right-brained or left-brained,” says Dr. Johnson. “To a neuroscientist, this is second only to ‘we use only 10 percent‘ as the most frustrating colloquial belief about the brain.”
The idea of learning something about your personality from a widespread meme is tempting—no argument there. But, according to Dr. Johnson, it’s nothing short of fantasy. ...
Whether or not you see a pink or blue shoe does have to do with your brain (I mean, duh)—but it doesn’t say much about your personality. “[It depends on how the] visual system is compensating for the bad white balance of the photo,” explains the neuroscientist. “The pixels are objectively grey and teal, but this can look very different to us depending on what our visual system uses as a reference point. These differences don’t come down to left brain right brain, but to subtle, individual differences in visual processing.” ...
Does everyone else see the stripe on the side of the shoe (what would be the Nike swoop, if that were the brand) as the same shade as the laces and/or the sole?
According to the neuroscientist quoted in this blog entry the perception of different colors is a real phenomenon, but any purported connection to right- / left-brain dominance is BS.

I made the assumption that the laces were white, then colour shifted the RGB balance to achieve a white colour on the laces. It's just my guesstimation, that's all.To my eyes there's a big difference in the original [grey/green] & your colour adjusted [pink/white] one. Everything looks more red shifted. How did you arrive at this colour balance as being more accurate?
I think it is due to changes/differences in colour receptors in the eyes when certain colours are beside one another.
Can't process this.
What on earth am I looking at?
