Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.
The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?
You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.
You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy
different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is
trichromat.
You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a
tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue,
green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color
will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is
tetrachromat.
You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are
making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and
probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway
🙂
It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th
cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter
the background light 😉
I see 21 colors. I had no idea there are so many more.
I see 35-39 colours, and I hate the colour yellow. That was actually what made me curious enough to stop scrolling and count. Who knew there was a scientific reason behind my colour preferences?
So the idea here is that what I see as annoyingly, garishly bright, most people don’t see as clearly, and that’s why it’s “cheerful?” (I’ve never understood that description of yellow.)
to anyone enduring a depressive episode: it’s ok. you’re not being lazy or selfish. your productivity doesn’t define or devalue you. you’re coping. you’re doing the best you can, and that’s ok!
Ok so it’s literally the middle of the night but I can’t sleep bc I feel like I broke the code or something (English is not my first language sorry for any mistakes plus im very tired so actually sorry for everything)
!spoilers ahead!
Ok, so… I don’t think Rose Quartz was the part of the The Great Diamond Authority BUT LISTEN UP first of all, she’s too small, second of all her gem isn’t a diamond and it’s placed on her stomach. Why the placement is so important? Well…
Both blue and yellow diamond have their gems on their chest, right?
And White Diamond’s gem is on her forehead.
There are two diamonds with a gem on their chest. And two diamonds (white and pink) with a gem on their forehead. It fits. Also there’s this:
Blue Diamond’s Pearl’s gem is on her chest. Blue Diamond’s gem is on her chest.
So if our Pearl’s gem is on her forehead it means Pink Diamond’s gem was also on her forehead.
And dont forget what Peridot said:
“Well, you’re a quartz. They’re huge, loyal soldiers”
So what I’m saying is Rose was Pink Diamond’s bodyguard but she killed the bitch and started a rebellion with Pink Diamond’s Pearl. This is also the reason why nobody is talking about Pink Diamond – it’s simply because she failed.
That is all, I can finally sleep in peace, goodnight
I LIKE THIS it also explains why all the gems ONLY call each other by gem name, nothing else, ever, and they call rose quartz, rose quartz. it seems like if she was a pink diamond they’d still be calling her that, the renegade diamond, or something.
The ‘Rose killed Pink Diamond’ theory is fantastic and is also strengthened by the mural we saw in a previous episode;
Rose is wielding a Pink Diamond in the mural and she’s surrounded by droids and what looks like Kindergarten drills/droids. Which leads me to-
We could theorize Pink Diamond was in charge of the experiment/technology development division of Earth- or at least in charge of overseeing Kindergartens, since the ship had landed on Earth so long ago and was absolutely covered in Gem-powered weaponry (and we know from Lapis they are actual imprisoned Gems). Rose, seeing humanity and growing to care for them, would strike out at the one who would be in position to deal the most harm to Earth and we know from previous episodes Kindergartens kill the planet from the inside.
Add in Garnet claiming Rose ‘Must have known’ about the fusion monsters, which insinuate Rose dealt with the Kingergartens (because I’m still fairly iffy the experiments were Homeworlds response to Sapphire’s and Ruby’s fusion since those things were there before all that and after the rebellion it was only Peridot who woke them up- and the clusters being there before would make even more sense as to why they were all disgusted by Garnet since cross-gem fusions were seen as literal abominations) But either way that comment claims Rose dealt with science and gem tech (and we know her personal room and weaponry use fairly high end tech) so Rose being subordinate to a gem who deals extensively with gem technology like an overseer for Kindergartens would explain Rose’s knowlege of all that.
It would also explain why Homeworld viewed the rebellion as so dangerous- since both Rose and Pearl defied their established castes aka Quartz being unfailingly loyal and Pearls being decorations, and Rose killed one of the leaders and won the ensuing war despite being a ‘lesser’ gem. That would make Rose’s story 100x better in my opinion- that she wasn’t already a ‘leader’ gem who just had a change of heart, but rather a subordinate gem who saw all the injustice her race were doing and couldn’t stand for it anymore and successfully killed Pink Diamond and defended the Earth. It could also be why Rose’s symbol had a triangle in the middle-
Not to show she is a Diamond but rather she killed one of the most powerful gems on Homeworld. Like a trophy or a warning not to mess with her, despite her playful demeanor.
Rose Quartz being an actual Quartz and not a Diamond who said ‘fuck you’ to the dictatorial Homework, caste system and their terrible leaders and kicked their asses 2k16
