Social Question
Do you mind answering this color survey, which may have deep implications into the nature of consciousness?
The main question under investigation is “Do different people see colors differently?”
If two people look at an apple, they may be able to agree that the apple is “red.” Those two people, however, might actually see two different colors. Since both were taught to call those respective colors “red,” they would not notice the difference in normal conversation. They can describe the color in words, but they can’t jump inside each other’s consciousness to experience the other person’s vision.
I am trying to devise a survey to detect this. While looking at a color wheel, I noticed that although the color is constantly changing, it doesn’t always change at the same rate.
I want you to look at this color wheel. It is divided into sixteen equal segments. Pick three of those segments that have the most contrast from one end of the segment to the other. Post in your answer the letters assigned to those segments, in order from greatest to least contrast.
My reasoning behind this is that if another person sees different colors, the exact locations of high/low contrast may be different. There is no guarantee that this experiment will work, but if everyone’s answer is different, it will offer good evidence.
This survey was designed for people with full color vision, if you are in any way colorblind, please say so in your answer.
