Our brains distinguish colors very badly

Although we can distinguish between millions of different colors, our brains have a "lazy" part, only natural colors.

The picture demonstrates that our brains distinguish colors very badly

First, look at this picture for 3 seconds!

Did you know, our brains can tell the difference between millions of colors but when suddenly telling you to name, you can only say a few specific shades .

Recent US research has found a solution to this question. Accordingly, it is because our minds tend to store what we often see as some basic colors so you seem to immediately give answers like yellow, green, red, purple. .

To prove this, try to remember the color of the image above and say what color is the picture combined? You would say, the picture above is bright red, pink, pink red . - the basic colors.

Psychologist Jonathan Flombaum of Johns Hopkins University said: "Our memories with colors are always about basic colors. In other words, the human brain is always sensitive to differences between color together ".

Further research, Flombaum found a distinct look in the memories of some colors. Accordingly, if the colors you look at are related to memories in the past, your brain will turn to that color more.

Flombaum and his colleagues conducted research with students in the school. These volunteers were asked to look at a color wheel made up of 180 different colors but mainly blue, pink, green, purple, orange, yellow.

Next, experts conduct memory testing . They will look at a colorful square in very short time, only 1/10 second.

After that, the test participant will look at the blank screen and try to remember the color you just saw. When trying to remember, the subjects tended to talk about the basic colors and the time it took them to "turn" those colors in just over a second.

Experts say, when faced with a multitude of subjects such as colors, birds, faces . we tend to remember prototypes.

This is not that the brain "does not have enough time " to remember or choose between the millions of choices that the brain is trying to give the fastest, most accurate detail. However, we must admit that our brains do not really distinguish colors that are nearly identical.
