#b100fe and #b71cfe. Differences are in the red and green channels.

They’re different. The one of the right seems… lighter? Man, fuck me if I’m just making shit up.

Edit: I was right! https://lemmy.world/comment/4517261

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 39 points 1 year ago

One is slightly brighter/more magenta-esque

But yeah there's basically no difference

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Left is #b100fe and right is #b71cfe

Left is darker than the right one

I mentally reached for Ctrl+Shift+C

Don't you mean Laurel?

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

My theroy is that since decorating is seen as a feminine thing (which is silly) a lot of men will play dumb about color differences to not appear girly. It easy enough to say it doesn't matter and not care. But those two shades are super close, but they are different. Every time I've had a guy blow something like this off, I was able to drill them down in to admitting that they do see a difference.

It's not exactly weaponized incompetence but more like learned protective responses effects of toxic masculinity.

Ever heard of chromosomes? Girls see colors more vibrantly BECAUSE they have X X pair which helps in color perception and distinction. But yeah if you want to blame this on "toxic masculinity", go ahead.

[-] hydroel@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Imma need more than a "trust me bro" on this.

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ha! I almost put that info in my post. But, also you got the fact wrong.

No XX people don't see more color vibrantly, but XY are indeed more likely to be color blind. But honestly the rate at which XY chromosome men are more color blind is nowhere near the amount of guys that can't tell the difference between colors. Absolutely more men are red-green colorblind due to heredity, but that doesn't explain why the majority of men claim to not be able to see the difference between all sorts of different color sets that are similar.

I mean come on, stop and think why this even got posted. It's a well known trope that isn't explained by a few % more XY people being colorblind.

No. It’s not guaranteed that females can see more colors. It’s almost impossible for males to do so (XXY chromosome grouping, which is also rare), but it’s also fairly rare for women to be able to see more colors. Females can also be colorblind, but it’s very rare: both X chromosomes you get from your parents must carry the deficient gene.

[-] supamanc@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Yes, there is a difference, but it's barely perceptible, therefore it makes no difference which one is picked. If you actually have a preference go with that one. Otherwise flip a coin.

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Well yes, but that is besides the point of what I'm saying? Of course the choice doesn't matter, they are functionally the same, just not exactly the same. No one would come out and say that DEF the right is better and the left sucks.

But they ARE different. I mean this works as a joke here in shit posting because it's a well known thing that a lot of men will say there is NO difference. That's not true.

[-] teddy2021@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Have you considered the role that drilling has in your results?

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You’re being hated on, but I get what you mean. There are people that to fit in, according to what they’ve learned or been taught, would pretend to not see the difference. I guess people here don’t think that such things can affect people.

[-] Remmock@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I don’t.

But I’m colorblind.

[-] djdadi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

But also, there are lots of colorblind guys. I can't barely tell a difference between brown and green, let alone these colors.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm a guy, and at first glance, I literally didn't see a difference. The colors are so close that I just didn't bother taking the time to actually check if they're slightly different.

Yeah, if I take the time and look closely, I'll notice a difference. If I'm decorating a room or something and actively looking at colors, I'll make sure to grab the same code because someone would notice otherwise, but I'm really good at just ignoring small differences.

And I'm very far from your arrival stereotypical "masculine" man. I spend more time than my wife snuggling with our kids, I hate trucks and love hybrid cars, and I am usually very reserved in public instead of taking up lots of space. So I don't think I fit those typical gender roles, I just literally don't care about small differences in color, and I do not notice unless someone points it out.

they are the same colour tho?

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

I think I read something before about how women's eyes are better at differentiating colors but men's eyes are better at detecting movement.

Maybe that's why I'm always like "how did you not find this thing, it's sitting right there!" all the time.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I think it's a cultural thing. In uni we had to learn how to titrate to figure out concentrations and we had to look out for sudden color changes to figure out the concentration of a solution. Well, I had a professor who'd constantly revel in the fact that men often had trouble with this, but in a toxic way.

I know that women are constantly exposed to different tones and shades from using makeup. And I understood the assignment because I had studied some graphic design earlier and had to tell colors apart. Whet she didn't get was that I only needed a color reference all along! I literally did not know what color it was supposed to be and she didn't bother to explain lol

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Why do is see the difference in the colors?

[-] SeeMinusMinus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

colorblindness entered the chat

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

You mean you can't almost immediately tell the left is barely darker than the right?

[-] Senseless@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

No it's not! move phone closer, then further away... No it's not! Is it?!

[-] Tixanou@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

i think the one on the right is brighter, not sure though

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

After staring for long enough I've decided that left is slightly more purple and right slightly more pink
