We all see colour differently – as was proved earlier this year when The Dress sent the internet into meltdown as people debated whether it was blue and black or white and gold.
Helen Czerski, a physicist, is so interested by colour that she is presenting a documentary for the BBC named “Colour: The Spectrum of Science”, to investigate how and why we all perceive colour differently.
In the series, she will highlight the differences between the colours we do see and those that we can’t, such as ultraviolet and infrared colours.
Most of us can tell the difference between shades of greens and blues, but what about the more specific shades? Take our quiz to see if you can differentiate between the 15 different colours below.
