 | oh, for once i just stowed it. short version, i was staring at my obnoxiously [visually] loud watch, and i'm getting
 lost in the balance of color of the various splotches, and
 just realizing: i just wear this for myself. what other
 people think is an afterthought. and it's because lots of
 well-balanced color just makes me happy; cheers me up for
 some reason.
 
 then i spent a few years writing video editing software, so
 i'm fascinated by color on a technical level, too
 
 so i thought i'd just make a thread about color. my favorite
 color is probably jungle green. bright (so nudge up RGB
 across the board) but with definite heavy blue value mixing
 in with the dominating green

 | i see, you know what pastels really got me was two recent animes,
 BNA and The Great Pretender. loved those palettes...

 | i'm actually not a fan of pastels, per se. i prefer, like, RGB on black. saturation. but it someone uses pastels
 beautifully, well, not what i would do, but sure, yes.
 haven't seen either of those
 
 most people think of colorblind as... total monochrome. this
 is actually rare. most common -- though it's still
 statistically rare -- is red/green color blindness. like,
 imagine seeing in shades of blue and grey and nothing else.
 
 what is particularly fascinating to me is that robert del
 naja, 3D, of massive attack, is red/green color-blind, and
 used to be a graffiti artist (or still is, on the off-chance
 he's banksy, but given banksy's colors... yeah, kudos if it
 is for the colors) and in interviews he said, "people would
 be all, oh, those colors are wild, how did you come up with
 that? and meanwhile i have to label the spraypaint cans so i
 know what colors they are"
 
 that, i dunno, i can actually see that guy... very carefully
 collating everyone's feedback, and carefully determining
 what colors work where despite not being able to see them
 himself. outsider 9000

 | lord help me i've left it alone but now i'm kind of squinting at banksy art and, hmm. hmm, hm, hmm. that
 actually... yeah, like, the fire is red, the dumpster is
 yellow, there's a lot of monochrone throughout... that yeah,
 actually, parts of this are colored but an overall...
 monochrome tone. almost a vague sense of being
 particularly irritated... "goddamn it i wish i could
 see yellow" and we have some wistful bananas he wishes he
 could see
 
 but i've no idea what i'm talking about, him being banksy is
 almost too easy

 | rumor has it... in an interview banksy spoke of a blood test puzzling his
 family doctor as he was not officially adopted but clearly
 not his parents offspring. some theories hence emerged of
 him having royal blood as its color was, yes, blue!
 but maybe their doctor was color blind aswell.
 
 im liking your theory tho,
 they have a banksy exhibit in my home town right now.
 i would go, but the ticket is kinda pricey actually.
 rather buy a bottle of decent tequila and watch banksy
 online.
 
 fun fact, i did a stencil this summer near the police
 station,
 no, not a pig, but it was pretty exiting!

 something, and, well, search results are so terrible now,
 they've started to get good again ~ LAZY_TITLE

 | anyways, it's a tangent, but... someone noticed banksy appearances correlated with massive attack tours, but...
 it's not unheard of for people to follow tours around, you
 know? and given 3D was (is?) into that, perhaps there was a
 little help but otherwise nothing to do with it
 
 but really... if we sweep aside squinting at the colors as a
 litmus test, 3D has always been incredibly political. still
 is. it does feel like the same... biting, clever, urgent...
 but again, could just be a sort of kindred spirit thing.
 though i also think, the timing, cops busted into poor guy's
 house claiming he had kiddie porn (he didn't) then they
 busted him for drugs. later he sued, it was all thrown out
 because it was horseshit, and likely in revenge for
 him being politically outspoken. it's actually been
 completely scrubbed from wikipedia; you really have to dig
 for it. right to be forgotten and all. it would just make
 sense if he was racking his brain for a way to keep going,
 but not get so much shit, and...
 
 if i ever establish proof, i'll do the right thing and never
 post it.

 | i did appreciate one thing out of that nonsense drug bust -- i was deeply into 100th window at the time; big influence on
 me... and i'm wondering: what drugs does this guy do? and
 here's a detailed list. mostly psychedelics. i think the
 coke was for guests

 | COLOR 
 old-school cataract surgery, they'd remove the filter, and
 you could then see UV light. monet had this surgery towards
 the end of his life, and... i think the water lilly
 paintings are, honestly, limp boring crap compared to his
 river boat era... but seeing how his lillies changed after
 his cataract surgery is fascinating
 
 that, mind you, you can't truly see it... comes out as
 blasts of white... but monet was so deeply into analyzing
 color... yeah.

 | 3D, get out of my thread -- he did that send-up of water lillies with a traffic cone floating in it
 
 ...and, like, he's colorblind, and one could see him saying
 "you could put a traffic cone in that and i'd not see it"
 and then the lightbulb goes off.

 | the woman who can see 100 million colo(u)rs 
 tetrachromats. that i'm actually still not entirely clear i
 have it correct, here, but, yes, normal color vision all
 R-G-B and that's trichromatic vision. birds and fish and
 lizards are tetrachromats, meaning R-G-B-? and so are some
 humans with genetic edge-cases; mostly women. the men on
 these genetic lines tend to crap out and be at least
 red/green colorblind.
 
 but it's the ? that irritates me. birds can see into the
 ultraviolet, but i don't think human tetrachromats can.
 instead, i think it's essentially like they've switched from
 recording 16-bit to recording 24-bit and they can't see
 colors we cannot, they just have immensely more granularity
 about color due to more bits per pixel.
 
 so i think i have it right, but i'm still looking around
 trying to find a proper answer

 | The protein encoded is a G-protein coupled receptor with embedded 11-cis-retinal, whose light excitation causes a

 chemical signalling to the brain
 
 cis-retinal. just wait until florida and texas hear about
 this one
