It’s a real color (as real as colors can be, which is not very). It’s not a spectral color, you won’t find it on the rainbow. It’s actually the result of your red and blue cones being activated together.
so this is based off my memory so there could be inaccuracies.
but what i’ve heard is that pink is the result of your brain registering a color because of specific color cones being activated but that your brain knows it’s not actually that color and so it fills it in with pink.
So if the can shown wasn’t Coke, but Sprite, it would still appear red? Or is it a mix of both? The eyes are confused and the brain fills in? Like when seeing pink as mentioned elsewhere.
Your brain isn’t filling in anything. Your blue and green receptors get oversaturated by the cyan, which causes your red receptors to be more sensitive to the white light than the other two, which is why it appears red. The effect happens in your eye, not in your brain.
Red is complimentary to cyan.
If the cyan were switched with yellow, the can would appear blue.
Also, it’s not our brains creating the red, it’s our eyes. They get exhausted of seeing the cyan and replace it with red.
Can you do that and post it?
Checkmate, atheists.
Well color me impressed.
Colored impressed; appears pink.
fun fact: pink isn’t a real color.
What??

Yeah, that’s magenta, which looks like a pink, but it’s not really.
And so is brown.
Pink is actually GREEN!
Orange is the new black
I believe you’re thinking of Magenta. Pink is just red and white.
Grab your pitchforks gang. OP is selling us snake oil posts!!!
Now send this version (with the same unedited caption) to everyone.
Strange, I see the OP picture as red, but this one as black & white.
He’s right.
You guys never cease to amaze me.
so it would appear red even if it was another can?
yes, obviously
Huh, it shows up as black to me.
It depends on the size you are viewing it at. This works well on small screens but less well on large screens
Let’s hope it’s the size of the image and not the responding user’s revelation they are red green deficient lol
It’s curious that the thumbnail actually has red values for those pixels, making me think they’re cheating a bit with jpeg compression effects.
