The third photo shows the text to be very washed out when the light turned up. Is this the way it really is or is it just the way the photo came out?

I didn't know about red, in particular, but I have read that in general women's senses are better. I believe it's based on us having less physical strength, so we rely on sharp, early senses to alert us of danger.

I'm curious myself. It's entirely possible that I have misremembered the whole thing and it is something hypothetical, such as the tetrachromacy as mentioned by meeera above. It's also possible that it was something I read in a newspaper however I am generally skeptical when reading science news in newspapers (even reputable ones) as the articles are usually so truncated and superficial that they are close to being untrue.

I have mildest pink and blue-green if I turn off all the lights and look for them. They are almost unnoticeable since I left the Kindle exposed to the air for a few days. I leave mine at 14-15 day/night but sometimes it's easier on the eyes in pitch black if I put it to 11-12. I think the trick is to make it 'whiter' without letting it glow as that is not great on the eyes even if it's "reflective." In any light but an unlit room, it's beautiful, in my case. But without lights on in the room, you can see mild discolorations (or you can just decide to read, which means they tend to not be noticed in my case). There IS apparently a quality-control issue though since some have received a couple of them and one is seen as a problem and the other not but it's rarer the last couple of weeks, in my reading. |
