Individual Differences in Colour Perception: The Role of Low-Saturated and Complementary Colours in Ambiguous Images

Individual differences in colour perception, as evidenced by the popular debate of “The Dress” picture, have garnered additional interest with the popularisation of additional, similar photographs. We investigated which colorimetric characteristics were responsible for individual differences in colo...
