Some monitors are actually 6 bit, and to get 8 bits for a
color gun, they "dither" the pixel on a frame by frame
basis, to get in-between colors. And a "hint" it does this,
is if the spec says "16.2 million colors" instead of
"16.7 million colors".

https://www.hardware.fr/articles/498...-couleurs.html

It says there, that TN panels dither, whereas VA and IPS
are capable of 8 bit color per gun.

A hint you're sitting in front of a TN panel, is the
viewing angle. If moving your head a bit changes
the colors radically, that's TN. IPS has a 178 degree
viewing angle, by comparison.

You can use translate.google.com to translate the
article to English, but for some reason the figures
in the article only appear in the untranslated page.

So yes, if your monitor is nothing special, it
might really be nothing special.


The colours don't change, it just gets darker when I move to the side.

And whatever it's doing, it's making me be able to assess what colour it is.

Is he still using girly coloured backgrounds?

What color is girly? Beigish pink?

I'm male, don't use complicated colour descriptions with me. I only
know 8 words to describe a colour.


That's not an effect of the Y chromosome, but of a bad education, caused
by the general Anglo-Saxon suspicion of anything artistic. I know all
about that, I went to school in England, but was fortunate to also go to
school in Austria. Luckily for me, the bad effects of the two systems
canceled each other out, the good effects complemented each other.

No, I'm just not fussy. For example, a woman will say "that colour
doesn't "go" with that colour". Why? How can one colour be wrong when
viewed near another?


Colour perception, the effects of what the rods (brightness) and cones
(colour) in the retina report, and how the brain calculates what's out
there. Brain function is partly learned, partly hard-coded. The
hard-coded part includes the calculation of the "correct" colour when
the actual colours (as measured by spectrometers) are different. That's
why you see the same colours in the shade as in bright sun. Spectrometer
shows they're different.

It's really quite complicated. The learned part includes the "men don't
care about colours" stereotype. For some reason, some men are more
stereotypical than others. Dunno why, but it should be obvious that
given any culturally determined stereotype, some people will find it
very easy to conform, some very difficult, and most somewhere in
between. IOW, the most and least "masculine" men in any given culture
are outliers. In most non-Anglo-saxon cultures, well, the ones I know
anyway, men are not expected to be indifferent to colour.


I have 20-20 vision according to my optician, but choice of colour is
nothing to do with my eyesight, it's to do with me realising that it
really just doesn't matter what colour something is. I can tell the
difference between two tones of colour only one RGB bit apart, but I'd
call them both "purple" and not use hundreds of names to describe
variations. If I want my room painted a certain colour, I don't care how
accurate it is, as long as it's roughly light blue, cream, whatever. I
don't go for the Dulux "sunset orange" ****. Light, medium, and dark
orange at the very most.

BTW, did you know that about 4% of women have _four_ types of cone cells
instead of the usual three? Of course you know that more men than women
have defective colour vision (cone cell issues).


Yes and yes. Actually about 5 years ago I believed ALL women had 4
cones, which explained why they were so damn fussy, now I realise that's
a myth and most women are just moany.


Ignoring the overt sexism, here's the obligatory XKCD colour survey:
https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/

Essentially there's not a lot of difference between men and women. You're
simply perpetuating a stereotype on both sides.

FTR, there are colour combinations that, er, disturb me. Really.


Why? My point above was that no matter how you perceive colours, they're
just ways of you distinguishing one object from another. There's no
logical reason to prefer one colour to another, or to dislike one colour
being next to another.


In purely physical terms of photons and wavelengths I'd agree, but colour
perception is a complex and purely biological phenomenon. It is measurable
both at the psychological and physiological level. Logic had nothing to do
with it.

Saying you can't wear a shirt of colour X with trousers of colour Y
doesn't make sense. When I buy a car I don't choose it on the colour, it
matters nothing to me whatsoever, I go by things like price, power,
reliability, size, condition, etc. The only reason to me for having cars
of different colours is so I can more easily find mine in a car park.


It may not matter to you. That's fine. It does matter (a lot) to many and
does have a basis in fact.

Here's a bit of background.

That link doesn't look very official. The simple fact is that a woman knows a lot of colour names. A man just don't give a ****. It's purple, orange, pink, whatever. We don't do "fawn" and "peach" and stuff, we just don't care.

You're psychopathic tendencies are irrelevant. Colour is a means to

white.

I must admit I do dislike tunes played out of tune. But that's probably to do with the two frequencies causing uneven harmonics/interference,etc. That doesn't happen with two colours viewed with different parts of the eye. It's not like the colour from your jeans mixes with the colour from your tshirt to make another colour in the viewer's eye.

Many animals don't see anywhere near the same amount of colour as humans.
Until very recently dogs were thought to have monochromatic vision although
it now seems they can see some differences in yellow and blue.

And of course many animals are effectively blind.

"Jimmy Wilkinson Knife" was "James Wilkinson Sword", but he couldn't
hide his prejudices, and was kill-filed by many (I suspect most) people
on this group. So he nym-shifted. I was prepared to give him another
chance, but his nastiness is becoming apparent again. He can't help himself.

It's no use discussing his prejudices with him. He's incapable of using
logic on anything except purely technical questions.


Even then he seems to be lacking.

Sigh. Usenet seems full of these types...
