Poll: If you had to choose a colour to see trough, what would it be and why that colour?

[SirFlamingLoboOfDoom]

Similar question...but veeeeeeeeery different.

White... Easiest to imagine..lots of white school uniforms.....what?



Edit: Also I am a middle schooler because that made me look like a pedo (Dammit!)

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I think it might be nice to see things through rose tinted glasses for once.

 

[steeple]

I'd choose black, since that would allow me to look through black-holes and see what's inside it (true, black isnt really a color, but it's one of the options so shut up!)

plus, lots of black female clothing out there

 

[Von Strimmer]

Black aswell. Just to see what nightime would be like

 

[Von Strimmer]

I think my post has been sucked into a black hole... Steeple please find it for me!

Edit* No wait there it is... THANKS STEEPLE!

 

[Scorpianhead]

Blue since its my favotite colure. And it will allow me to pretend im underwater.

 

[Thaluikhain]

A colour to see through? Um, that'd mean you just didn't see that colour, and it'd look black (in abscence of other colours), right?

 

[Futureman]

brown, I wanna know what the underground looks like

 

[SirFlamingLoboOfDoom]

Well you could have some level of transparency but I am talking like everything that is that color be invisible/see though with some tint. But yes if somehow you had layers of the same color stretching to the end of the universe you would see black.

no its colour to see THROUGH. so you would never be able to see the colour blue again...

OT: I choose brown since there are more things to see in the different colours than brown. might walk into some dead trees tho........

brown, I wanna know what the underground looks like

play any "modern" FPS brown is all around you

I'll take yellow since EVERY color is composed of yellow and other colors the effect would be the world looking like an oil painting. Maybe then it would be less depressing

 

[SirFlamingLoboOfDoom]

An guys I really mean paint CMYK not fancy light RGB. If you want to you can. But yes then choosing white would be very stupid thaluikhain.

 

[Farther than stars]

Green. It already makes up a great part of the visual spectrum and a high percentage of the colours we perceive are green (i.e. one red, one blue and two greens for a pixel), so I'd still be able to see to the best of my abilities with the rest of the world being green.
Also, green is a very peaceful colour without being cold, so I think I'd be most relaxed if I saw through green all the time. I also prefer the wallpaper of houses to be green for the same reason.

Think of it as though you're looking through a sweet wrapper. So the colour you pick is the colour you see everything else in.

If I can see through it, I'd not want it to be a colour that any vehicles, warning signs, or any other solid objects really would be.

Or gases or liquids.

For example, IIRC, burning hydrogen is invisible to the naked eye. However, this isn't cool, so much as "FUCK!!!!". Holding a straw broom in front of you as a fire detector would get tiresome.

Yeah, best if this stays a hypothetical, huh? It's interesting though, because a lot of animals only see certain colours, primates actually having a rather wide spectrum which they can see. And I also wonder how some seriously colour blind humans operate with those issues you mentioned.

Well, they can see those colours as shades of grey, not as invisible. However, there are practical uses for this...hunters wearing blaze orange so they are highly visible to each other, but not to their prey, which sees them as drably coloured, for example. Tiger camouflage works that way as well, except tigers can't see each other as brightly coloured.

You never, ever, ever see this in science fiction. Nobody makes camouflage patterns based on what colours the aliens can or can't see, nobody has tac-lights in colours the aliens can't see, etc. You could get away with crazy garish uniforms from the 1800s if you said it didn't look like that to the aliens. I'd love to see it explained that the reason British soldiers wore those bright red shirts was because the crab people saw them as drab grey.

As for human colour blindness, it's an issue, yeah. Alot of things are colour coded nowdays...most obviously green for go and red for stop. One of the most common colour blindness renders you unable to differentiate between red and green.

 

[remnant_phoenix]

I, and many others on this thread it seems, are confused.

Is this "Pick one color to see through" as in, "seeing through a film of that color," or "you have a form of x-ray vision, but it only works on one color, i.e. everything in that particular color is see-through to you"?

 

[Shakomaru]

Orange. I don't like it that much.
