In optics, chromatic aberration (CA), also called chromatic distortion and spherochromatism, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. It is caused by dispersion: the refractive index of the lens elements varies with the wavelength of light. The refractive index of most transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength. Since the focal length of a lens depends on the refractive index, this variation in refractive index affects focusing.

I hate chromatic aberration effect with burning intensity. My eyes try to adjust their focusing uselessly, so they get tired very fast.
What??? You mean you don't like your video games to look like they're being recorded by a cheap 1920's camera lens?!
I am super sensitive to it too. It has been a damned plague in video games and ridiculously and hideously overused in digital art, like the great browning of the early 00s.
It was my dealbreaker for bloodborne, which is too bad because I love gothic horror.
You abhor it.

Usually ClearType when set-up correctly for my own monitor doesn't cause it. The pixels and sub-pixels are small enough to not be seen separately.
But many games have Chromatic Aberration (+ some other blur effects) that just cause horrific eye strain.
Usually the effects are closer to looking like the Wikipedia "severe chromatic aberration" example pictures...

Thank you so much I have been wandering this for years. When I turn my head to see through eyeglasses with different angle, funny blue/red outline shows.
Maybe that kinda explains it. I sometimes see chromatic aberration even with normal vision and I have no probs seeing the colors in the vid. My brain is apparently not prone to erasing that.
Also, before Retina displays, Macs used subpixel font rendering, creating a similar effect. Basically taking advantage of RGB pixel arrangement to have 3x horizontal resolution. But it would make right edges of a letter red-ish, a left edges blue-ish.
Somewhat related: a "font" that's only a single pixel wide
http://www.msarnoff.org/millitext/
Well that is ridiculously cool.
I can kind of make out the actual implemented examples. Makes me want to go looking for a crappier monitor so it would show up better.
Not quite. It was used up until Mojave.
hard to initially see the colors
Are you sure? The colors are always there and never go away.
Edit: Sorry for the multi-reply, got an error 500 and things went a little wacky. I fixed it lol.

This an issue with many displays, like CRTs, regardless of the sub pixel smoothing feature.
Black on white would have color shadows. You could adjust the monitors to lesson the effects, but it wouldn't go away entirely.
I imagine people have grown accustomed to ignoring the shadows so now they just don't see them.

To be fair, the last image of the painting looks exactly like a popular tiktok filter....
Which has a chromatic aberration effect.
The reason we don't see it is because most cameras correct for it.

Red, yellow, blue, light blue, and black. What’s invisible here?
Not everyone sees them and some do after eyes adjust
Ahh, okay. I just scrolled to the end again and yellow and dark blue do seem to be “invisible” for a second. It also works with scrolling, those colors seem to go away.
My eyes couldn't adjust. Then again, I'm subbed to r/colorblind for a reason.
I'm colorblind but I can still see the colors
You're cured!
It's a christmas miracle
Wait that's illegal
You'll have to catch me first
I don’t understand this seriously what is the point? What’s invisible?
when you look at it from further away the colors are invisible and instead it just looks like the black is sort of wiggly. For example i can see the colors easily in full screen (im on mobile), but theyre invisible when im not in full screen
Well lots of stuff is invisible if you're too far away to see it. I bet you couldn't tell what colour someone's pocket square is from the other side of a football field.
well yeah of course but i mean just slightly further away as i assume most people that can see the colors are probably on computers which means up close with a big screen
I'm pretty far away, can you see me, Greg?
Bad take. This doesn't become invisible because you get too far to see it, it becomes invisible because it creates an illusion.
The point is that it's supposed to achieve the effect of Chromatic Aberration. Which it does pretty well at doing when you stand at a distance

It looks like the way light plays off of the lines on the bottom of a pool.
No matter how far away I am from chromatic aberration, I see the colors in the aberration.
Incidentally, misaligned projectors on rear-projection televisions before LCDs became the norm drove me fucking insane, as well as all the games now including chromatic aberration filters.
I'm physically incapable of seeing the sailboat, it seems.
This sub sucks now.
Ya, the comment section is like 50% people complaining that they don't like the sub anymore. Really wish the whiners would just grow up already.

I feel like it wouldn’t be very usable.
what's the invisible colors?
Idk, i saw the colours at first. Then i watched the rest of the video expecting a lot of other colours that i missed but no... There are the same colours of the beggining...
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How is everyone seeing colors in the big painting? We’re being pranked or what? Lol…
I only see black and white grainy visuals when it’s the painting by itself. Not other colors.
No pranking going on here. All of the colors are clearly visible with very clear boundaries - including the wide shot at the end.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not for me, they aren't. Just black & white.
I see a white and gold dress.
BLUE AND BLACK
They’re clear as day?!
Do you not see the colors on the edges of the black squares?
Someone else posted a still image of it, might help: https://i.imgur.com/ZzI9khT.jpg
Interesting, i can see all the colors same as when its close up. Guess our brains are just processing it differently.

Your brain is auto correcting the colours away because it looks like chromatic aberration.
Basically for me if I have my phone closer I can see black and all the 4 colours just fine but if I take the screen further away then I can only see black. So try that maybe
Can anyone actually not see those colors? This whole thread seems to be full of people who can, including me. That’d be pretty funny though, if this was one of those “Only 13% of people can do this!” tests, but it’s a lie, and it’s normal for most people.
I didn't until after I saw her paint them. There are thousands of likes and only a few hundred comments so I assume you are in fact in the minority. People who see as intended are not commenting.
I can’t see any when they show the whole painting, just looks blurry to me
i dont understand?
But.. but I can see the colors
Huh, I can't. Maybe it only works on some people or smth
This so feels like this spent time in r/glitchart. Thanks!

"This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!"
I’d imagine this would work with a pair of red and blue 3-D glasses.
I can adjust my brain to fall for the illusion and not fall for it, so I both see them and I don’t
Yeah, same with the blue gold dress and the yani and laurel thing. Makes arguing about it seem kinda silly
What’s the songs name?
Talk to Me by Elijah Moon

Looks cool. Not sure about the title though.
There are no invisible colours here.
Tik tok colours?
Yeah, ironically the tik tok logo does the same thing. Must be a metaphor.
How do you know if the colors are invisible?
ironically? Or... on purpose for tiktok?

I wonder if there is a difference in how we interpreted this in our brain. People that have grown up with bad reception on their analog color TVs might have learned to adapt to this and not see the colors. And people that grown up in the HDMI era are like: What's the deal, I see all these colors...

People with glasses can relate
This is what I complain about to my optometrist when I get my glasses, if I’m not wearing my glasses perfectly right everything has a red edge on top and a blue edge in bottom. It drives me nuts. They don’t know what the hell I’m talking about but it looks just like this.
I didn't get it at first but if you move farther from the screen you cant see the colors.
Very cool! This is called comatic aberration. like the Tik tok logo at the end of the video
Ctrl+f explanation for those looking for one.
If you take your phone way far out as your arms can stretch, and then unfocus your eyes a bit, maybe even close one，you can make the colours disappear, and the squares just look black and blurry.
This is cause naturally a blur effect will look a bit darker on one side and lighter on another, and so the blue and yellow tones when blurred with black and white achieve a very similar effect, so your brain just kinda adjusts for it as it assumes the colours are from lighting. (Similar to that dress illusion).
But I think this effect will not be present when viewing the painting in real life. There's a added blur any time the full painting is shown. You can tell if you pause any time the full thing is there, take a look at something nearby, the persons shirt, shorts, the sides of the painting, all blurred, and there's an added glitch effect as well that adds to the colour mixing. There's definitely effects added on.
If the video didn't have these effects, then the painting wouldn't be as eye straining.
Why has this got 18k upvotes when everyone can see the colours?
Invisible is the incorrect word to use here. It’s just chromatic aberration.
Maybe if you watch on a phone the colors look "invisible" because of the smaller screen / smaller points. On a desktop computer, and probably seeing the real thing, you would see some chromatic aberration effect, but would still see the colors. Still pretty dope, though.
Its invisible when you look at it on a small screen/ low res
You could hold this image a mile away and I would still see the chromatic abberation. Apparently some people's brains filter it out.

Well, that could simply be because the math your phone does, means they don't display all the colors. They are not invisible then. They are just not there.
Is it just me or do my eyes kinda hurt when I look at that
So those acrylic nails were already awful, but now they're being stuck on halfway down the nail?
Low rider nails?
Also, we can all see all the colours.
I assume it's because the nail has grown
But why. But how
To all the butt-hurts. I genuinely didn't see the colors. Some eyes work differently I guess.
Tldr: people think they're better than everyone else because they can see the colors when they focus and think everyone else is brain dead.
Who’s ‘focusing’?
It’s plain as day.
We don’t think we’re “better”, we genuinely didn’t understand what the illusion was meant to be. What do you mean when they focus? As if the default state is to not see them?

Ok I got it. When you see the whole picture (around 49sec), pause the video, gradually take some distance from your screen, while looking towards it, without really focusing on any part of the painting.
The red blue yellow colors disappear. But you have to make it happen.
The illusion breaks when you understand what it is

The colors sorta go away when I squint.
These colors basically simulate chromatic aberration, aka "color fringing" which the brain is normally equipped to suppress (just like cameras nowadays, btw). So if you look from far enough or squint, your brain gets rid of the fake CA and leaves a BW image.

I could be wrong here, but I think the effect the artist was trying to convey was a blur, not "invisible colors", only cause the colors are definitely visible, just that there's a wicked blur to it all

aye yai yai. I'm too late to the party but it's because of how big the video is rendered... on a monitor in full screen you can see all the colors just fine. Take the same video and render it much smaller and they "go away". Here's the exact same frame of the video both small and large

Thank you, I was trying to figure out what "invisible colors" meant, but it seems that this trick doesn't work on me either lol
Are you joking? Or can some people see the colors in the "normal" footage?
I can absolutely see them.
Same I can see them.No kidding.
Edit:I could see them in the beginning as well
Weird
I can see them after shown how it's made, but the first time I was just black and white
Even after seeing the process i couldn't see the yellow or lighter blue. I just see the red and darker blue and feel like i need to put on old-school 3D glasses lol.
I can see them, but if I focus on the painting as a whole they disappear as the artist intended.
I can only see the red on the right and the blue on the left, can barely see the yellow if I focus but couldn't see the green.
Wait. There’s no green. That’s tape.
lol, you're right!
It's navy blue and light blue. So you can indeed see everything.
This dress is obviously blue or is it red
Gold
Black!
At first I thought you were trying to bamboozle me, but it turns out you bamboozled yourself
You’d probably see the yellow more easily if it were in person. Still, a cool effect as the colors are not remotely as prominent when you view it as a whole.
They only disappear for me in the final frame if I minimize the video
No problem seeing all colors. It just has that retro 1980s 3D effect, but no invisible colors.

Maybe OP is colorblind.
I frankly do not understand what you are not able to see and what do you mean by 'normal' footage, isn't it all just images of the squares and mutant squares? Yes there are colors on the edges, are you saying you can't see them?
Yeah no idea what this guy is talking about. The painting just strains my eyes is all.
From other comments in the thread, the colors are designed to mimic chromatic aberration which is when lenses are not perfectly aligned so that color fringing on the edges of things is visible as in the image. The mind tends to want to filter out chromatic aberration since it's supposed to be a mistake so apparently some people's brains erase some or all of those extra colors besides the black color. It doesn't work for me it seems.
Does the mind want to do that? Chromatic aberration is not something that we have evolved to deal with since ancient times.
Also there are instagram filters and effects in video games that mimic it, which would be pointless if we couldn’t see it.
So that is a long story but basically since your eye only has one lens per eye, it should theoretically suffer from chromatic aberration all the time, yet you don't see color fringing in your vision normally. They think that means somehow your brain on a regular basis is cleaning up your vision and blotting out the fringing all the time, but last I checked, they hadn't really sorted out how exactly. And as you can read on this thread, there is a range of response as to how much people's brains are ready to go the extra mile to blot this fringing out or not. Some can see the colors in the complete artwork and some can't, with others falling part way in the middle. I suspect the art is designed to maximize the chance your brain will interpret it as bad focus as well and thus maximize that your brain might try to blot it out.
Sometimes I think about how terrible our eyes are optically. The bokeh is terrible, and sometimes I can even see a bit of chromatic aberration
Not op but thanks for this, it's a really good explanation
Yes. The human brain is exceptionally good at "lying" to itself when it becomes over/under-stimulated or when sensory information doesn't form coherent detail.
Chromatic aberration as a technical term is rather modern, but how the mind perceives chromatic aberration is no different than an optical illusion >LIKE THIS<
Yeah, but it’s not something we have been seeing in the wild for centuries. It only became ubiquitous since we started messing about with lenses. For the larger public, it’s an effect we’ve only been seeing regularly for about a century or two, tops. Our brains have not had time to evolve to deal with that. Which is evidenced by the fact that you can clearly see it.
Huh? I think you're confused. Our brains are not evolving toward being able to ignore or the optical illusion caused by chromatic aberration.
When OP said "the mind wants to filter out chromatic aberration", he/she really meant that the mind tries to make sense of the color pattern, which results in the false color optical illusion that many people experience.
Yes, it is. The false colors we perceive is exactly how the human eye and brain have been dealing with similar optical illusions caused by sharp color contrast for hundreds of thousands of years. Examples can be found everywhere in nature.
How a specific optical illusion is produced is largely irrelevant.
Our eyes have been experiencing chromatic aberration since they evolved to have a lens. We experience it any time we see more than one wavelength of visible light, which is pretty much all the time.
Out of curiosity, what made you assume this was true? What we're talking about isn't something that we invented, it's a natural phenomena.
If you think about it, the cones in your eye that make you see colors are next to each other and not directly on top of each other, so all the colors are always offset of one another.
It's the same thing that also happens on displays as well. The subpixels that make your display show the white color are actually red, blue and green LEDs that are positioned next to each other. This allows for subpixel anti aliasing. Depending on how your Windows is set up, you may already be using it: https://prnt.sc/1dtst9z
bruh ancient times is like 2,000-5,000 years, we ain't evolved to deal with much at all since then, try a longer period
Thank you, I thought i was going mad. I can see the colors, after reading your comment I found that I can look above the painting and sort of let my eyes lose focus in order to make them "disappear" a little bit, I was really confused about the point of this post... other than being a cool painting
Probably people with more chromatic aberration have brains that filters it out more. So if you can see the colors, your eyes are relatively good

I don't recall ever filtering out chromatic aberration. (tho if I did, lotta times I perhaps wouldn't notice?)
I can’t. But I’m colorblind.
I can sorta see the regular blue and the red. But all the yellow and light blue and other colors go bye bye in the straight ahead view at the end.
It sorta looks like when you’re looking at heat coming off the asphalt in the summer. It’s just blurry at the edges.
"Colorblind" person lists all the colours in the image and "other colors"
Are you sure you're colorblind and not on lsd?
wait, i don't know if you uys are joking and now i'm kind of scared: i don't see colors ither? Once the painting is completed , it's black and white and the colors have disapeared? I hope it's not how i learn i'm color-blind..
There are definitely colours there. I promise I’m not trying to trick you. But I also don’t imagine it’s a colour blindness issue but rather your brain filtering out the colours (like how you can always see your nose but your brain ignores it). This is my completely uneducated guess though. I’d be curious to what your results of a quick online colour blindness test is though.
It's not about being color blind or not, that guy above was just wondering if that was influencing his outcome. But for fully color seeing people, there still seems to be a wide range. So for me, at the end of the video, I can still see black plus 4 colors. But for some people who can also see color, their brain screens out the colors from the whole art from their consciousness because their brain thinks those colors are due to bad eye focusing. Here's an example of chromatic aberration with a camera: http://www.tlc-systems.com/pp011185crp.jpg and you can see how the art mimics that. So if your brain sees that, it tends to think there is a mistake in focusing that it better clean up for you. But it's not a test for color blindness, if you can see those colors normally then not seeing them in the completed art means nothing as per color blindness. In fact color blindness is an issue that happens in your eye ball but this test is actually looking at higher level brain processing of the info that your eye has already collected. If you are worried, this easy test here tests for color blindness: https://www.allaboutvision.com/eye-exam/color-blind-tests.htm
Don’t look directly at the black squares. Does this still help? https://i.imgur.com/ZzI9khT.jpg
Hol up, some people are looking at that and not seeing the blue,blue and red, yellow?
Are we all talking about the same thing?
Seriously, what the fuck? I've tried squinting, moving my phone away from my face, letting my eyes relax, etc. There's no way for me not to see those colors.
Pause the video and zoom far in. The colors will be apparent then.
Can you do a color check on this for me?
Still see white and gold. I don't care that I know I'm wrong
People groan everytime this is brought up but it's still one of the most fascinating illusions to me because I have never been able to get close to seeing black and blue. It's so clearly white and gold to me and I can't even begin to see the correct solution like I can in basically every other illusion.
Does this help?
I like that one, but it still doesn't help me see the other. It's only ever black and blue because the image looks like it's washed out in bright light. To see white and gold, I would need to be able to see the image as being in shadow, but I can't.
The original pic looks very bright and with white-ish/yellow-ish light (looking at anything else other than the dress), why tf would your mind assume it's dim blue lightning? I can't see the gold-white in the original pic.
Unfortunately not. It's such an incredibly strong illusion to me that the second it crosses that dark to light barrier, it flips colours and I can't see the other version again.
This hurts my brain. I feel like I'm going to faint if I look on it for too long.
Its so strange how different people's brains work. I can instantly see the black and blue, the gold to me is instantly recognizable as incident light on shiny fabric. I guess some people can tune out the incident light.
I've always seen blue and gold.

Holy fuck is Reddit just being fucking stupid and telling me "Something went wrong" when it didn't?
Right now it’s black and blue (when I first saw it when it went viral I also saw it as black and blue, but at a couple of later points in the past I have successfully gotten it to briefly flip to gold and white, but it’s hard to keep it there.
I can't even grasp where the white could be, considering the out of control blooming of the white background.
To me the it looks like the dress is in shadow, with all the light coming from behind it, so the white and gold are both darkened. I know it's actually black and blue but my brain just will NOT see it that way
Black and blue!
This was proven to be a black and blue dress under a yellow light, and the black fabric is shiny, causing more yellow reflection.
Black and blue, all day every day, because it is in fact black and blue.
No, I’m not joking
Surely you can’t be serious.

It’s a building full of doctors, but that isn’t important now.
Every GD thread.
Can you not?
After inspection I can see them the second play through.
I can barely see yellow but the rest is quite obvious to me.
I can see them from the get go. Was trying to figure out what was invisible about it until I saw your comment
Same here, I was wondering why it was called invisible colors when they are clearly visible. Neat painting though.
I was looking at it on my phone and what helped me understand what the others meant was bringing distance between my eyes and phone.
If i extend my arms at max range i cant see the colors for like 5 seconds until my vision adjusts and i can see them again.
So it looks like distance from painting is crucial for the effect to happen.
I can see them they are just not nearly as vibrant

ELI5 what am I supposed to not be seeing. It looks like chromatic aberration yes, but the colors are clearly visible..? Am I looking for the wrong effect here? Thanks

The colors are there but they make an effect that resembles chromatic aberration, so unless you're paying attention you'll think "That's just black and white seen through glass or water."
For those of us with thick glasses, it's not unusual.
It took a second to see it, I let my eyes go out of focus and the colours separated.

I can see them all clearly and was confused about what in the video was BMF
I can see them
Yeah I can see them even when the video is tiny. It’s hard for me to imagine how they could be invisible for people on the full size video. If I unfocus my eyes they mostly disappear though.
Yeah I can see them. Possibly because of playing modern AAA games. You gain an eye for chromatic aberration.
I can see them
I don't get it what do you see if you're not seeing the colored bars? Is it just black or what is it?
I can see them from the get go. Was trying to figure out what was invisible about it until I saw your comment
I could not see them at first. Eventually I saw the colors and now I can not not see the colors.
I can see them all
the bigger the screen the more its noticable, its all about perspective. on phone screens its nearly invicible but on bigger screens or zoomed in its really noticable
I could see the blue in the video from the start, but not consistently
Same, can see the colors just fine. I mean, I love it and am a fan of glitchy looking stuff like this… but if they literally intended for the colors to disappear that doesn’t happen for me. The painting would be somewhat boring if I couldn’t see the colors so I suppose I’m glad that I can?
I've found if you close your eyes the colours go away.
QUICK! HOW DO I MAKE THEM COME BACK?
Oh shit, is this about to be another blue/black vs White/gold debate?
I can't see the individual colors
E: I can see them now, but only because I put the video on full screen on a computer instead of my tiny phone screen.
If it is, then this is super interesting, I had no idea some people filter out chromatic aberration. I can definitely just see solid blocks of colour but I can also see how the final image looks like a blur effect.
I absolutely can't not see it. Three minutes of bloodborne gave me a literal headache. It's like a visual mosquito sound.
I can see all the colours, but if I unfocus my eyes slightly then they disappear as expected.
I would pay good money to become blind to chromatic aberration. I am a 3D artist, and I view chromatic aberration as a plague. It's hands down the most overused and misused visual effect, and almost always looks terrible. The sad part is that people add in in hopes of adding realism, when really it's a red flag that you don't understand what you're doing.
I think it's more like the spinning dancer
Me too
On top of that, the final footage and the other footage of the full painting is purposely blurred and has a post-added chromatic aberration effect, on top of the manually painted one. You can tell cause the sides of the painting and the persons shirt are a bit blurry and there's that weird glitch effect added.
Clearly the painting does not look like that when viewed regularly.
Same here. I can see the colors clearly even in the beginning.
I can't.
(Though my phone is in gray-scale mode for night time, so I really can't. I bloody watched the whole thing too before realising I probably need colour turned on for this).
EDIT: I turned gray-scale off and I can absolutely see the colours all the time. I don't get it
In all the frame you still can see the colours?
POV: you are an invisible color.
(yes I'm being sarcastic, making fun of people who use words without knowing what they mean)

I dunno man, looks black and white to me, actually outside is the same to me idk
I see the colors as long as I have my glasses on. When I take them off and move a bit away from the screen, they blend in with the black, making it look like there are only blurry black squares. Maybe all the people in the comments are nearsighted. 🤷🏻♂️
“These Blurred Color” might be a fitting title.
