We have the visual equivalent by default. You can look at something and make a confident determination that it's "red" or "blue", not just that it's "redder than the color next to it".
- eternauta3k 3y agoKind of, your eyes are doing automatic white balance.
- stefncb 3y agoWe can tell if something is red or blue, but red and blue are huge spectra. That's like telling the first third of a piano keyboard from the second. Even I can do it. Absolute pitch is more like telling exactly what wavelength it is (to a certain degree of course). Most people can't do that.
- OscarCunningham 3y agoI can hear a note and say whether it's high, low, or in the middle. But perfect pitch further requires a resolution of 1 semitone.
- opan 3y agoHave you never argued over colors before? I wouldn't trust eyes to be that accurate or objective.
- GuB-42 3y agoThere was once a meme called "the dress" that shows that color perception is very relative. Some people see it black and blue, others see it white and gold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress
