ThePyodeAmedha

I don't think it's saturated enough for it to be wisteria. I think lavender and lilac is a better category for these.

It’s a 10C dilution of alizarin crimson with a soupçon of Hungarian magnolia. I mean, everyone knows that.

Foef_Yet_Flalf

thumbown

I'd say periwinkle on the left, lavender on the right.


dieumica

They are clearly different if compared side by side, but I doubt it would be so clear to say which one it is in isolation


GoldieFable

Undertones are surprisingly influential on perception. Yes, in isolation you might not be able to pinpoint it as exactly but they would look different (one often looking better than another) E.g. I did not realise I was buying wrong-undertoned shirt in the store lighting. Cue to me getting out and realising that the colour really washes me out. Same principle applies to make up - wrong undertone can mysteriously make you look slightly sick. -> person who cares about their styling and it's coherence will want to match the undertone also for their nailpolish


Lostcaptaincat

Even things like black- the wrong undertone and your blacks won’t match


grapefruit_witchh

Ugh I hate this. Especially with black tights and a black dress.


Lostcaptaincat

I literally won’t wear them together - I only buy (when I have the option) blue or purple-based blacks.


SeaAnything8

I once got black jeans with a *green* undertone. Who tf makes black like that? It matched nothing! I’ve never seen a green-toned black again after those jeans.


sapphicvamp

i had jeans like that! they were kinda cool but yeah, way too tough to match


Timely_Sink_2196

Naked and Famous did some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles jeans a few years back that had green undertones with black.


NoroSorelia

I once thought I was buying dark green boots. Turns out they were black with a green undertone, but the store light made the green stand out. I now have useless boots that are too green to go with anything you'd wear black with, but also clearly not green. I have no idea why black with green undertone is a thing....


Barbara_Celarent

Are they leather? If you polish them with black polish or black with red undertones, it will neutralize the green. Or you could polish them with green and make them greener. Anyway, you can mess with the colours for not very much money.


NoIron9582

Try them with a light brown


shroomsandgloom

I bought a guitar I thought was silver but when I left the store it was a sage green. I love it though.


Lostcaptaincat

Lostcaptaincat

This is the way


PunchDrunken

Thank you!


NoireStasis

This!!! I hated when I was younger my mom would have me wear a black outfit with a blue tone and the black tights would have like a green or brown tone it drove me crazy. I would say it doesn’t match and she would roll her eyes and tell me to just wear it 😂 I only like blue-purple based blacks as well.


Rumpelteazer45

Yes blacks that don’t match! I hate it


According_Surround_7

Is there something in your tinder bio causing them not to match with you?


lalakingmalibog

Yeah, like a certain historical flag with certain political undertones?


joemamalikesme69420

That’s mainly covered in red except for a symbol in the middle?


astral_distress

Throw all of your blacks in a tub of Rit dye every couple months to keep the undertones matching!! My ex used to do this with his work clothes when he worked in a fancy restaurant, & he always looked super sharp… So I copied him & now do it with all of my basics/ classy attire.


Fuck_you_Reddit_Nazi

This is the concept behind bluing. Wash your whites in it and it gives them a blue tinge that makes them look extra white. I wonder if you can still find bluing?


phcampbell

Yes. In the laundry section of larger grocery stores.


Corteran

We do this in the papermaking industry as well. Our brightest paper has rhe most blue dye in it.

I find throwing in something dark grey helps. Doesn't need to be much, could just be the top of some socks poking out of boots, but having it there makes the blacks look more uniform.

Dark grey highlights on a black trenchcoat then?


Lostcaptaincat

I’m black+black. But if I have to, dark red or deep purple. My trench coats were black jacquard and black fur or black leather. I prefer black buttons or zippers if they’re offered.


PunchDrunken

I'm a pale and red toned. So hardware makes a big difference, brass snaps will be my undoing


savwatson13

Or in your room lighting they match, but you step into the mall’s bright lighting and realize they don’t ):<


Lostcaptaincat

Yeah. I was a photographer so I know that the warm lighting inside a typical home will be thrown off compared to cool mall lighting from fluorescents- it does make it harder but if they match in one light they should in another. I use daylighting/ white lights in my house.


Cucker_Dog

Protip: get a bunch of fancy LED bulbs in different light frequencies for your bathroom and unscrew one here and there to simulate every type of lighting. Sunlight simulation is particularly useful because you never know what undertones are gonna pop up in the sun (dear God you will never notice every little stain on your teeth)

Wait - what? Please note, the guy asking this is the same guy that only saw 3 different colours on that brain games episode. I think they said it was 7 or 8 colours.


Lostcaptaincat

Blacks are dyed with different color combinations. Some pull with a green, purple, blue, or even red undertone as they fade. The material matters, as well. It’s not something most people notice but if you even think two blacks clash, that’s why.


Canadianingermany

I have never ever thought that two blacks could clash. This was a foreign concept to me until this post.


Lostcaptaincat

Well 😆 now you know the curse of seeing shades and hues so clearly


throwawayable5

Similarly, I made my wedding dress with my grandma in her sewing room and colour matched the thread I was using there in her sewing room. I had an outdoor wedding and even though the thread matched perfectly in her sewing room, it was glaringly different in the sunlight. The dress was a much colder white than the thread was but I hadn’t noticed under the tungsten lights of the house


savwatson13

My dad is a photographer and told me to do my makeup in the lighting I was expecting (eg going to a bar low warm lighting: do it in a room with a similar lighting). Never thought I’d have to do that with clothing too ._. Now I gotta check all my threads


throwawayable5

Yeah it’s not really something I would have considered was a problem but in the end it didn’t matter too much because no one was looking at the thread

GoldieFable

Makes you look less healthy/flattering. For example in this context the colour made me look more yellow and pale in a sick way - not in a lively tan way (it was greenish - I have green shirts that are okay but this made me look like I belonged to a hospital so it was particularly noticeable). Another person may use it to describe how something made them look pale and red in slightly feverish or constantly out of breath way etc.


Cleancontentment

Realized this when buying white paint. I spent probably 3 hours trying to choose the perfect white for my walls but side by side they all looked so different. I was like “ew I don’t want green tinted walls”. Finally decided on a lilac tone white, painted my walls, and ya they just look white white. Really feel stupid for wasting my time.


caitejane310

Same thing when buying yarn! You have to bring it to the front of the store to get some sunlight on it.


La_Vikinga

If you want to idle away a few minutes, try taking the [Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Color Vision Test](https://www.colorblindnesstest.org/farnsworth-munsell-100-hue-test/). Even if someone isn't officially diagnosed with one of the variants of being "color blind," not everyone can distinguish between color hues.

Noinix

About 8% of men are colourblind to some extent. Perhaps they just can’t see the difference?


Violet351

My ex husband said I couldn’t have anything lilac down stairs and then he chose a lilac sofa. Two years later I found out he thought it was blue


theplushpairing

Some of the most vicious fights I’ve gotten into have been over “is that violet, purple, pink or blue”


tunamelts2

At this point, I don't *really* know the difference between violet and purple...and I'm too afraid to ask.


xGreenxFirex

It's like people who don't understand the difference between cyan and teal. Both are a mix of blue and green, but cyan is blue leaning and teal is green leaning.


libra44423

Purple has more reddish undertones while violet is more blue. There's more to it and [this article](https://jakubmarian.com/difference-between-violet-and-purple/) explains it pretty well, but if you want to keep it simple there's a nice picture comparing the two colors at the top, too


blamethemeta

Its the same to anyone who doesn't care that much


HoneyChilliPotato7

I googled lilac and it says light violet but the colour looked purple to me. Then I googled Violet vs Purple and Violet looks like lighter purple. So lighter lighter purple is Lilac? WTF lol I suck at colors


SuperSMT

Love when you google colors, google images will have an array of wildly different shades all claiming to be the real one


fordprecept

I'm pretty sure they just threw "indigo" into the color spectrum so we could have the "ROY G BIV" acronym.


quathain

That’s hilarious.


Wiggy_Bop

Men are more likely to be color blind than women. My Dad was colorblind, I forget which colors he had trouble with.


Isord

Makes me wonder what he thought lilac looked like.


[deleted]

I had a car that was clearly orange to me and had it for a few years. My boyfriend of the time randomly referred to it as red (he hadn't ever mentioned the color before then) after a few years of me driving it. I was like "You mean orange, right?" and we had a little debate about it. I explained that I had heard guys see shades differently than women sometimes and it blew his mind.


NoroSorelia

My ex called all colours on the lilac, purple, pink, rose, powder scale "lilla" the Danish word for purple. Without fail he could not tell them apart. Luck would have it, we'd end up with a daughter and he hated finding clothes for her because all those tones looked the same to him. Then I noticed how it's not just him, but him mom and brothers too. They cannot see the difference or they don't care.


kryaklysmic

Most of the time boys and men seem incapable of identifying the color differences between light lilacs, cherry blossoms, and crabapples… like seriously, the actual flowers outside on trees. I think my dad and brothers are the only ones I know who know those are purple, pink, and a white-pink gradient!


BrandynBlaze

Women have more photoreceptor genes because they are found on the X chromosome, so they get two sets. It’s why men are much more likely to be colorblind.


Wirfen

Im colourblind i can see the differance side by side, but its not much though. You have differant colourblindes its no jsut all colours like most people seem to think when i talk to them. Min is on the red green scale, i can see red and green but when they are side by side it gets harder with some depeding on light and other factors.


middleupperdog

women in general have better color vision than men. The X chromosome carries the traits that influence your color vision. These traits tend to not be dominant or recessive, so in women that get two x chromosomes some of your eye's cells will have one trait active and some of your other eye cells will have the other x chromosome's traits active. Effectively what this means is the downsides are mitigated because if you have a trait that stops you from seeing a certain color, half of a woman's eye will still be able to see it using the other trait. You also get a variety in terms of different types of cones that makes women even more color sensitive. Meanwhile men only get one x chromosome so if there's some defect in that allele's color vision there's nothing to make up for it and men are much less likely to see as much color as women do. Men are better at judging light levels and brightness though, but i don't know why for that part.


xGreenxFirex

It's more of a shade difference here. Not hue. The 89 is darker. So the color blindness is not a factor.


netGoblin

Nah, one is more "pretty and pink" and one is more calm and blue. They have different vibes


[deleted]

That's not the point. The women who tell you that these are two different colors are right.

danskiez

I’m color blind as well (red/green). I have a very hard time telling the difference between blue and purple (purple tends to look blue unless next to blue), and pale or pastel colors tend to just look white to me. I can still tell the difference between these colors lol.


PortraitOfAHiker

It's blue/yellow for me. I don't understand why everybody is talking about those two gray things in the picture.

Frost5574

Jerker_Circle

Maybe being colorblind is an evolutionary advantage in some cases


IcedGolemFire

fun fact: color blind people were assigned as bombers during wars because they are less easily tricked by camouflage


DND-MOOGLE

Aren't there different types of color blindness? I'm slightly color blind and have always struggled to differentiate purples from blues. These look practically identical to me. I can just barely tell them apart while they're side by side. If I had to find the #88 nail polish based on color alone I don't think I could.


ANGRY_SANTA_SAUCE

Color vision deficiency is actually a spectrum ranging from virtually unnoticeable to straight up monochromatic. Some folks can even have multiple types at once. Was talking to my optometrist a while back and apparently it's pretty common for folks in their 40s or 50s to be diagnosed and never knew they had it. I didn't know til I was in my mid 20s


MyAnusBleedsForYou

Why should we trust you, you're colourblind.


hectoralpha

one can be said to be pinkish purple. With no tent of blue. The other can be said to be blue with no tent of pink whatsoever. so just look for blue and pink, both can be said to be purple though haha


am_i_really_ftm

The word you're looking for is 'tint' rather than 'tent'. I know with some accents they sound very similar.


GodlessLittleMonster

The pin-pen merger… makes me shudder


CarolynGombellsGhost

Its a clear difference like c’mon now


TheImminentFate

It’s pretty clearly different but we’re all looking at this on different screens at different resolutions. If you’re a juicy person who likes to keep their android phone in vibrant mode then the difference will be more obvious. If you’re looking at it on a garbage TN office screen then it probably looks the same.


AwkwardReplacement42

Definitely different for sure. But to pretend it’s a glaringly obvious difference is ridiculous. You’d never know which is which without comparing the two side-by-side.


phpdevster

Ironically I just tried an experiment where I would cover one up with a piece of paper, and they almost get *more* distinct in isolation. I'm sure if you cared enough you'd be able to tell even without looking at them side-by-side, but of course nobody else is going to give a shit. If they do, they probably have strong opinions about business cards and you might want to avoid them....


RomanticBeyondBelief

[удалено]


swollenfootblues

This isn't quite accurate. The thing is, colour blindness isn't a single issue, and is more like a family of issues with someone's ability to perceive or discriminate colours, kind of like how a mobility issue can be anything from an injured foot to a missing leg. In this context, only certain kinds of colour blindness may produce any sort of difference or benefit in the ability to differentiate the colours. Others may make the difference even more difficult to identify.


shellofbiomatter

Actually, based on just that picture, ofcourse real life examples would be a lot better. Those are different. But i do have an unfair advantage as a guy. Differentiating colors is part of my job.


Squanch42069

I’ve actually heard that female brains are far better at differentiating and even identifying colors than male brains, the reason being that ancient women would be the ones collecting fruits and berries, which you’d need to be able to identify based on color. Being able to tell the very subtle difference between poisonous berries and edible ones was a necessary trait for women to develop. Meanwhile, men were hunters, which means our vision had to be better suited for patterns and markings. This is all based on what I remember from an episode of a show I watched like 10 years ago, so I’m sure some of this info may be outdated


shellofbiomatter

Yes I've heard that too and it fits the context in the hunter gatherer times, but it can be learned skill too as the women at that time were taught since childhood by their mothers to differentiate colors while men were not. But I'll probably later end up in deep google search on papers on that subject.


Vulpes_macrotis

I can distinguish colors that are literally more comparable than those two. I am a man and don't have a job or do anything related to colors. I am proud perfect color vision holder. I took a test and finished it with perfect score every time.

Also colorblind and can juuuuust tell that there's a difference. If they aren't side by side, no way though.

If they weren’t side by side, I would still be able to tell. The left is way too bluish for me to ever pick for my nails.


TheNerdNugget

ThePinkTeenager

They are. The one on the left is a bit more blue.

88 is red based, 89 is blue based. Clear difference lol


jeffbarge

Numerous_Raccoon_677

[deleted]

Left is more saturated and a slightly bluer hue, also there are studies that suggest that women may actually be able to perceive more very minor color differences than men https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-babble/201504/when-it-comes-color-men-women-arent-seeing-eye-eye (I don't actually know if the link is all that reliable of a source but the study references in the article does seem to be legit)
