Is "Scale-Effect" a myth?

[adt70hk]

Interesting discussion and interesting article highlighted by Murfie.

I only know what I've read previously and am no expert and am still working out what colours I do and don't like but in relation to the sightly faded look at distance I have a real life example in front of me right now......

We're away camping at the moment and there is a mid blue tent about 15-20 metres away.

Approx. 80-100 metres away is another tent of exactly the same make and model and colour. And it does look slightly paler than the nearer one.

I've walked past the more distant one on a number of occasions and I don't recall it looking noticeably worn/ faded.

Currently it's cloudy but not in a dark overcast way of you get my drift.

ATB.

There, in a nutshell Andrew, you have the embodiment of the term “blue remembered hills”. Atmospheric particulates scatter light, reducing the intensity of colour. The more there are between the viewer and the object, the more the intensity is reduced! Blue is least affected, so distant objects take on a bluish cast….hence the phrase immortalised by Houseman.

But is "Scale-effect" the same as" stuff in the distance appears lighter effect" ?

This is all starting to sound a bit Father Ted...

The eyes don’t perceive Laurie, the brain does.

Oh I knew after writing & reading it back that some clever "cloggs" would latch on. Tut Timothy.

Basically,a colour is a colour..... let`s go to what we ALL know here eh?.... it don`t aft to be complicated.......
The two Primary colours,(Violet and Green for those of the Hard of Thinking).... are the ultimate base for ANYTHING that you`ll ever need to represent.HOWEVER,if you can`t get what you`re after with doing that,and wanna go back to Playskool shades.......just throw in the 5 colours of the Rainbow.......White,Black,Brown,Grey and Beige OBVIOUSLY :astonished:!

....... I look out of my modelling room window,and see Haytor on Dartmoor..... What do i see?.... Dartmoor miniature Ponies.... and they may be a long way away..... but,"they`re Dartmoor Miniature Ponies" :dizzy::thumb2:.... no big secret...............,just because when i drive up that way they`ve gone,and been replaced by their larger parents doesn`t make Dougal wrong......

Yes & with a total cataract on the right eye I can only see red with the left. I used to be able to see blues with the right.

The surgeon has assured me he will enable the blues & place in an innovation for yellows. He says if i use both eyes i will get grey.

Hey Dave, oranges are really blue anyway. The orange colour is just the light bit they don’t like so they reject it. The blue but makes them feel all warm and fuzzy so they take it in!

I actually do see slightly different colours with each eye Mark. The right one is definitely biased towards the blue end of the spectrum. My dominant eye is the left one, so I see colours slightly on the warm side :loudly-crying:

Yep, the rest need contact lenses!

Can see fine with my right eye,all gets a bit fuzzy with the left one,left eye was weak and as a kid if I had worn my national health specs like I was told it would be ok, but half blind is better than uncool at that age lol.
