 Thank you. Let us know when you see us. Let us know. Live now. Okay, everybody. This is this week in Science. We're going to do a very much briefer video than usual right now. It's a special video because Blair got something in the mail. And this is something that was inspired by a conversation between herself and Justin a couple of weeks back and one of our wonderful members of our community, Ed Dyer some of his inspiration as well and conversations that we have had over several years moving back. But Blair, why are you so excited about this package? So as most listeners of the show will know at this point I am a color-blind female. This is very unusual. It's only 0.2% of the population of females as opposed to about an eighth of the population of males, I think. Actually, you're more likely to be born with 11 toes than you are to be born a color-blind female. That's true. And it's weird that you're both. I am not both. However just to give you a little bit of background way far back I've always been an artist most listeners also know I really like to draw and do all sorts of crazy artsy things when I was little I wanted to be an illustrator more than anything in the entire world. I drew all the time. My parents started to get kind of confused when I would color things funny colors and eventually I went to the optometrist and they asked for me to get a color-blindness test and of course the optometrist as every other optometrist I've ever had has said you're a girl, you're not color-blind and my parents said give her the test and I took the test the dot test oh my gosh I forget what it's called the one with the circle and it's a bunch of different colored dots and there's either a letter or a number inside and the optometrist went wow yeah you're color-blind so I was about 8 years old and I remember very clearly the following year I think is in the 4th grade we had this career day at school we all talked about what we wanted to be when we grew up and I said I wanted to be an illustrator and some adult who it was said you can't be an artist you're color-blind no and as a 9 year old I went yeah that makes sense and I gave up I gave up on that completely for a long time now throughout my life some other things have happened I rely a lot more on the location of what light is lit on a stop light rather than what color it is for many many years my entire life until I think last year I thought that on the walk don't walk sign the walking guy was green because of context clues turns out it's white spoiler for me I remember that episode what color is it the green guy yeah I'll be told oh you have to wear black to this concert that we're playing for symphonic band and I'll show up in blue and someone will be frustrated about it but where it really would come up was the St. Patrick's Day when you thought you were head to toe in green and your friend told you aren't you gonna wear anything green yeah so I've gotten very good at memorizing what colors things are I take people with me when I go shopping the thing that was when you shop who can confirm the color and then you memorize it and you've got it categorized in the closet knowing that's the color that they told me it is and I'm trusting this yes absolutely and so when I go shopping by myself I ask the salespeople of course but where it really kind of had a weird unexpected adverse effect on my life was in college which I thought was very interesting because in a lecture hall of a hundred people if you can't read the professor's dry erase marker you're not going to interrupt a lecture with 99 other people in there to go excuse me professor can you please change your pen and the colors of the dry erase markers it's red blue green yeah and occasionally yellow yeah yeah and so from your perspective they're writing an invisible dry erase marker I can kind of tell there's writing but I cannot read it oh my gosh the other problem would be on tests all the time I would get tests and I got better at being my own advocate but I would get tests where they would have you explain the difference between the red line and the black line on a graph or the red dots and the black dots that was something that that was the first time I really had to go out of my way to figure out how to bring it up to professors ask for help it was interesting and you could never then also tell when they highlighted the correct answer in the multiple choice questions with the red writing which is always how I got there everyone oh is that what's happening yeah so I mean not to say that this is like a disability or that it has been this extreme hardship or anything like that but I will recognize that most of the time when people use descriptors for things color is the number one huge huge it's the number one descriptor hand me that red pen oh it's over there next to that green car whatever it is and it's something that people around me even my very closest loved ones will still do it yeah say oh the blue one and I'll have to look at them and go do you want to try that again oh the striped one right at work they came up with a color coding system involving colored dots to identify which animals could go out on a given day and I do remind them actually I need shapes so it's just a thing that I think your average person might unknowingly take for granted that I I didn't think would ever change for me and I'm going to acknowledge that it still might not change for me there is a chance that the thing in the box which I think we can say is there's a thing in a box right here in the box which could drastically or slightly some increment of changing your life might just not work right so this is something I assumed was never going to change there were jokes about some sort of crisper or epigenetic related studies on monkeys that might restore color vision that you know my friends would send me say oh maybe we'll fix you yet or something like that but I didn't really think it was anything that was ever going to change and there I'm getting scared built up is making me very I know I know I'll finish up but but ultimately I still didn't really think it was going to change because these glasses so we talked I think we talked about it on the show before but these glasses were discovered kind of by accident to shield somebody from they were working with lasers lasers yes and so it was an accident and they they had a friend who tried them on for fun and all of a sudden could see colors they were playing suddenly the orange pylons because it was an orange the original lens was orange color it made the orange pylons pop out yes and so they were noticing them for the first time as the boundaries for the frisbee golf course so I don't remember the exact time on this but I want to say it was probably three or four years ago that is first well that they first kind of hit the market as a potential thing that a person could purchase and they've been you know improving them and augmenting them and the enchroma company is now selling these to consumers but they they carry a heavy price tag and I did not really see that as a thing that I could invest in personally and we were talking about it on the show one week when Kiki was not with us and and Justin suggested that perhaps this is something that we should do for the show and suddenly this became a thing that I thought was cool but was not within the realm of possibility and it became one mainly because of Justin but also because of listeners and contributors who decided that this is something that you wanted to see so thank you to all of you in advance this arrived yesterday day before yesterday from Kroma and I'm going to open it finally but you're so good at not eating the marshmallows I didn't eat the marshmallow okay so here we go from enchroma fulfillment I'm going to open this buddy up so the company is named enchroma and they do make these glasses for color blindness and you can take a test online at their website to determine your color blindness type and they have different prescriptions for different types which we did we did it together turned out I'm not colorblind which I always thought that I was so the reason I'm very disappointed that this is all that colors are for a second because we're a science podcast I want to tell you why it's really unusual for girls to have color blindness just super fast it is a sex linked trait it's something that lives genetically on the X chromosome but not the Y males can get it if they just get the one X chromosome that has color blindness on it so that means the mother can carry it but not herself be colorblind because it's a recessive trait so you'd have for a woman to have it she'd have to have two colorblindness X chromosome uh chromosomes so which is really rare because it's not only on the X chromosome right it is on the X chromosome but it's recessive so you have to have you have to have a colorblind father because his only X chromosome has to carry it and then your mother also has to carry it on at least one of hers and that one has to be selected which means her mother has to carry it or be colorblind now my maternal grandmother was super colorblind like more colorblind than me my dad will tell you dad if you're watching I'm sorry this is the science he will tell you he is not colorblind he definitely is not as much as me not as much as me sorry dad not as much as me but he definitely is colorblind which is good because otherwise it no where'd she go don't you break up on me no internet there you are okay you're opening it you colored balloons balloons to help me see well that's weird that they gave you black and white balloons or different color balloons let's see what else is in here I gotta get it in more I can this is my last episode share your reaction trying on enchroma for the first time can be a very memorable experience capture the moments so you can share it with family friends and the community on YouTube Facebook and Instagram don't forget to tag us we want to hear about it we won't forget we won't forget okay so here's the question I'm gonna ask it again should I put them on right now or should I not I think we should wait like three weeks build up every show we'll at the end of every show we'll do a segment like this where you talk about how much you want to put them on and we'll be like I wait a couple more weeks okay so there's enchroma read this first okay step one go outside outdoor glasses work best outside remember to capture the moment with your friends step two put them on the big moment is here put on your new enchroma glasses and take a look around step three keep them on no peeking keep your glasses on for 10 to 15 minutes to give your your eyes time to adjust yeah that's a long video outside right now you can't go outside we're gonna do a follow-up I mean you can put them on but then take them off yeah I'll put them on and take them off real quick um caution avoid flipping the glasses so your eyes can adjust for best results wear them for 10 plus hours over the course of one to two weeks ooh indoor glasses wear indoor glasses and well-lit interiors at the movies or in front of your TV computer screen or computer screen they work best when there is a bright light source okay do you have outdoor indoor guess what what did they send you they sent me to ugh wow okay what else is in here there's a lot did you know this ahead of time this is a surprise I talked with the enchroma people and then they're like well what kind of what kind of color blindness does she have has she taken our test and I messaged Blair and Blair said this is it this is my type and I indoor glasses indoor glass oh my gosh let me put you on the screen again show us those glasses again indoor and chroma glasses those look like fabulous on you they look millennial-ish okay I'm gonna be very honest I'm shaking a little bit okay these are sunglasses sunglasses these actually look like sunglasses you would wear yeah they super do they look like sunglasses I've seen you wear oh man that room bleak is asking what happens if non-colorblind people wear them and I not much apparently you're supposed to see more intense colors like I'm gonna run into Blair I'm gonna have to try them on for a little bit to see what I'm missing if there is anything so I'm gonna really quick I'm gonna turn more lights on and then I'll put on the indoor glasses okay hold on one second okay I'll be right back we'll put on the indoor glasses so we're very excited that this is going on Blair is very excited question though so there's this question of the amount of colorblindness so Blair says that her dad is not is not super colorblind you know and her grandmother was more colorblind than she is so this is genetically linked but they're obviously like there's more genes involved or there are replications of the gene or there are various multiple variations of the mutation so I'm I want to know more about this exactly it could be but I'm sort of taking the hint from Blair that her father has been obfuscating the amount of colorblindness that he suffers from we won't tell anyone Blair's dad and if you think about it if I was colorblind I would just be colorblind that's what it would be I'd be wearing ridiculously colored mismatched things all the time the fact that Blair has an entire system for overcoming and finding a way to appear as though not colorblind I don't think her father or grandmother ever would have put time into nor would I I would be the worst at this I'm right now I'm not even wearing matched socks now that's just you it's time for you to be quiet this is Blair's moment I'm going to do this I'm scared there are glasses and they're going to take 10 or 15 minutes to do anything it's going to take a while do you want to spend 10 minutes do you want to spend 10 minutes balloons she can't go anywhere now I don't know I can't tell it's inside it's nighttime they did say it takes 10 to 15 minutes Blair don't flip them up I'm not following directions already already you're like what's working why isn't it working they said 10 to 15 minutes you have to wait we have to be patient these are what these glasses look like you wanted to wear them around the art indoors this is what you were looking for actually that would be a good thing for me to grab and look at the art first impression putting them on any difference at all just putting them on right off the back actually things are brighter they're tinted lenses so they should be affecting the light reaching your eyes so focusing it with reds and oranges and pinks actually I have a bright orange ethernet cable and it's looking like aggressively bright to me right now and I'm just looking at Bleak's comment in the chat room lol it's like someone who's just had mushrooms you're probably in so check this in steps I like the cord the brightness now a good part of color blindness does have to do with the amount of the intensity of the light source that's why they said have bright lights if you're wearing these indoors you want to be in a brightly lit place because you're right intensity has a lot to do with it so the fact that you're wearing shaded glasses and seeing brighter intensity an aggressive intensity of this orange cord is it good huh I feel like it's really hard to tell what could be the placebo effect too that's the skeptic in me is wondering but I feel like I'm seeing things that I thought were the same color yes and now definitely are not I wait that's not the same color yeah it's mostly the reddish items so far are just I have a red pillow and a red blanket and they look very different right now okay reds are a entire spectrum of differentness well so I mean if they had never occurred to you that they were they were separate different shades of red that's actually relevant do you have a Pantone color chart um how about the trophies see as one two three four and then five there is a new one I know you just one more your trophy your trophy platform but do you see the different colors in the trophies yes I definitely do all right um so my Rubik's Cube oh my gosh now you know you didn't solve it after all yeah this is a Rubik's Cube so good at Rubik's Cube no no I can I can solve the Rubik's Cube but here look there it is it's all done but um but these two colors were pretty much impossible for me to tell apart okay you thought they were the same ish yeah I mean yeah it had to be super well lit for me to figure it out they look very different they look different now you can tell them apart yeah you can tell that one is pink and one is purple yes I can and that they're not both pernurple yes exactly I feel like this is what's gonna happen is just as I go about my daily life if I wear these I'm just gonna be shocked I'm just gonna have constant realizations of what color things are and I knew when I was wrong interesting so familiar objects may appear strange because you've never seen this wave before are you checking your clothes? yes I am on what okay so this this picture behind me poster the tentacly thing it came from definitely beneath the sea that's what it is I definitely saw it as kind of a sepia tone thing oh wow that is not sepia nope that's got bright yellow and red and green the tentacles are green yes you've never seen that wow it's starting to kick in it's kicking in it's kicking in the drugs are working oh my gosh this is brilliant okay do you know what the color is already without looking? do you know what the color accent on your headphones is? yes red I knew that are you sure? yes red this is red you wanna take a look? oh it's red I wanna take a look from here it's not from my perspective it's not orange I feel like I just looked at myself these glasses are very bright red which I did not realize that I unpacked them they are kinda looks like I should be at a shooting range with the red glasses and the headphones did you see the cover of this book earlier? that's very red what in the heck that's so exciting now you can see the world through rose colored glasses oh my god even just like this this is very different from when you pull it out that's so exciting what in the what in the did you name those colors? it's really just for me it's been a contrast issue so everything's just muted everything just looks hyper colored to me right now looking at these they look like neon 90's colors to me right now would you only know because of how people have described them but you were just I'm saying like I understand that hyper color is brighter than your average color yeah right so this looks like how I have perceived hyper color until I put these on just now and now these look like that so what's very interesting about this too is that on the chroma's website there is an explanation of color blindness that you can only witness if you're not colorblind because it shows balloons from the perspective of somebody who's colorblind and from the perspective of somebody who isn't and you get gradient back and forth when you cover or uncover the color blindness from these balloons and and that's very much what it was sort of like it was almost as if you had darkened the image or like if you did a color adjustment and removed color and headed it towards black and white you still have color there but the colors are like you say muted and not as obvious now I want you to find more things to look at where's your art show me the calendar yeah calendar look at past calendars too that's a good idea not the one that never got colored in black and white one that's not gonna work I don't see any difference I spent a lot of time coloring this yes unfortunately you only use white I wonder if Brian's home right now she's gonna be running I feel like this is some sort of like remake of of of here in Loving in Las Vegas let's get it we need a calendar now come on now watch out for the places in the bath watch out for the hypnotodes okay yeah what I like that one it's the purple night the night is always purple with you this is what I did as a child why my parents thought I was colorblind no no the purple is perfect the sky is what? the sky is always purple I made the sky purple no Blair that's the right color you haven't been outside yet you don't realize that's the color of the sky you don't know you just happen to get it right that's like midday that's like noon that's the noon sky it's that deep prince purple and the clouds are pink oh that's exactly how it is every day it's a choice that's actually just nailed it by accident unfortunate oh my god I made the sky purple exactly the reaction but it looks like twilight it looks like it's the zebra in the evening oh my god and the clouds are pink in the twilight this is what's okay what color would you call that orange yeah so I definitely thought that was pink oh wow I thought the dominant color on this piece was shades of pink so I think identity 4 has the original identity 4 has the original identity 4 has the original zebra artwork and he says that the color is more blue than purple okay because here's another purple I mean he might just be saying that I think you feel better but that's under the water right it's in the ocean oh wait I know there's a cactus hang on also there's like orange in the oh boy it just looks like a very eclectic choice that's all okay I like that one yeah I like that one these colors look different to me now that was not really true before interesting I feel like you should paint without the glasses on yeah maybe huh all of a sudden I'm seeing I didn't see you before fascinating powerful I have this original I love it I feel like that background is a 60s dress my grandma yeah that's kind of what I was going for oh my god I like that yeah they're all great they're all fantastic I have shoes that have this on it yeah I love that that's awesome so fascinating I bought custom vans that's what I did so this is why we're witnessing an artist seeing their art for the first time yeah I know I think all the backgrounds work but it's just so interesting for you to go that's not what I did that's not what I thought I did but this is my point too like I was talking about how familiar objects may look strange to you if you've never seen them in a color context before yeah and Dave Shorty is saying it's absolutely true there's a lot in color calibration of monitors, projectors, printers, etc particularly if switching color space and so the calendars themselves the calendars that were printed are a representation of your original art so there may be differences in the original art what I have brown hair that's so great stop it now you're killing me this is not real it's definitely okay so listen so I know I don't have black hair I know I have brown hair because I've been told but you didn't believe it because no I just don't see it I just see like if I wear black sunglasses they blend right into my hair and then you tell the world I see blackness it's just all black so I know I have brown hair now you have highlights it's not even that it's like I can actually I see dimension to it I see like my brown hair is different from your brown hair wow that's right that's really weird this is very aggressively bright that's it that's the hypnotic it's the hypnotode I mean that's cool oh right oh my god so I did these oil paintings and I tried to do blending but I can see individual brush strokes which I couldn't really before oh that's interesting I could see some of them but not this many Gord says oh geez Blair you have to rewatch Futurama now yeah I just watched The Avengers Infinity War again the other night and I realized like just now those superhero movies are probably very brightly colored they are and I actually probably now I wow yeah that's the dragonfly you were talking about it's the one I got right here it's so bright red yeah so bright so what I'm loving about this is this is the 8 year old illustrator who's going oh this is what you've been working on I can see brush strokes in this why do I see brush strokes I this blue is like oh it's like really pretty it's so blue oh my gosh there's so many greens on this thing you did a good job it's wonderful what the heck they're really kicking in it seemed like at first when she first put the glasses on she wasn't noticing what I'm going to do now are you ready I'm going to do this just to see yeah can you see a difference you take him on put him off yeah I definitely can it's it's subtle at first but it really is it's what I've described to people always is like you put the sepia filter on something or like you use one of those old timey you see life and that's pretty everything's just kind of more I guess brown everything's kind of more yeah there's less contrast everything's like popping at me now so did this adjustment period was interesting Kiki this is not an affective glasses or the eye this is an affective brain right this is yes the light that's reaching the eye but the brain is responding to the new signal right yeah retina is still the same it's just this is just the light that's reaching the retina going to the brain and we're in is interpreting the signal and and we saw and we saw I mean it's interpreting signals it hasn't entered before and we saw a lag when she first put the glasses on as was telegraphed because they've obviously noticed this and that's when they bothered telling you people put them on and go we just watched the Blair's brain adapt we watched her brain change yeah so this my kind of like soil color on this is like there's pinks and purples in it as is the color of dirt wait till you go outside it's going to be amazing yeah I just like thought all of this was brown really wow that's not brown but it makes a nice background there is something this is a great question for when we have been chromophoton about this delay how's your bear how's your bear Blair in a pit of lava it's in the fall trees yeah autumn but that is bright didn't make it this bright how is it this bright this is gorgeous whoever on the original is the luckiest person on the planet my mom owns it that's my favorite thing you've ever done I love it the mammoth is wonderful I love it I love it I love it too oh my gosh it's like all of this is so complex there's so much going on up there I love that you did it and you have never seen it like that I have to go to a museum do you understand I've been going to museums my whole ding dong life I've been like oh yeah that art is cool I guess I think a trip to Paris is in order yeah yeah it's just going to pay for that patrons no wait isn't there some sort of sciencey thing we can go to in Paris oh yeah cop something right do one of those things where we do stuff at what's the what's identity for sending I know he's sending images oh the zebra oh that is way different different it's a totally different color interesting thanks for that identity very interesting that might be the printing it also might be the scanning yeah combination of the two even how interesting because in the original it's like blue and like a more contrast in the original there's more contrast in the original and then the the image in the calendar is super bright and vibrant was there did you send these to Patrick before it was scanned for the calendar did you digitize I scanned them myself I went to FedExKingos for their highest quality scan interesting Justin disappeared yeah so the scans yeah Bleak says I bet the scans were saved RGB as opposed to CMYK I'll have to try that this next calendar so maybe your memory of what you created wasn't so wrong I made that more blue but still I mean you've been looking at these calendars yeah but see I feel like when I have this contrast issue the power of suggestion is very strong right so whatever I did I'm kind of like okay yeah that's what it looks like um um I something I'm gonna do when it's bright out I'm gonna go outside but I'm also going to I'm going outside I'm also going to look at my closet yeah yeah I think that's really gonna I think although I want I want a video of a bunch of little clips of you looking at different things your closet just outside at the dirt yeah at the zoo maybe maybe maybe at a museum yes you know go run around and take a bunch of little video clips and then we'll throw them all together or yeah or you can you know share them do brief ones and you can share them on Instagram or something wow and the longer you wear them the more your brain is like digging into those glasses and the new way of looking at the light yeah it just makes me feel like I was living in a world of brown you kind of were wow a world of sepia mm-hmm I find I was really curious to know what you thought of that poster behind your head and it's so fascinating that that yeah totally different from what it looks like I mean recently this happened to me a couple times I was watching a show that I don't know if it was like in low I think it was in low light it was like one of the Netflix Marvel shows or something so it was very dark and I found myself asking Brian if it was in black and white or not he was like no there's colors wow let's see some this is exciting I'm so super happy for you but now it's time to take them off put them back in the box and no no no I think these are unboxed you should keep them on wear them as long as you like and we should do that separate short door glasses with the sun shining going outdoors and seeing cause what do you think about the logos huh no way huh so there's there's there's all these different reds mm-hmm yep get out spectrum of color they're all different all the reds they're all different yep that's different red it's like a pinky red mm-hmm how does my brain even understand how to process this that's what's really fascinating that's the thing I think we need to go back around when we've got the in chroma folks on and talk to them about this because they're so cool oh my god that's great I'm gonna wear these all the time I know you will definitely witnessed a delayed reaction which has to be the brain learning to process new input that the I mean it's there's something deeper going on than a filtered lens oh my gosh so here's my question do I wear once I do these videos and stuff like this do I wear these sunglasses as my main sunglasses just in the world why not it's gonna depend on your mood I tell you you know that when I put on a pair of shades they add a sepia to the world sometimes I dig I like having that on a morning after a long night of doing twists into the wee hours there's times when you maybe don't want the world to be as brightly lit and your choice okay so let's see don't touch the lenses smudge them do not use abrasive cleaners store glasses in a cool dry area okay avoid touching lenses with your fingers as that may build up oil and residue wash lenses with mild soap and warm water rinse clean do not use paper towels store in chroma glasses inside a protective case when not in use store in a cool dry area away from extreme temperatures that can damage the lenses that's good to know do not store the glasses inside hot vehicles absolutely some people will enhance a profound effect immediately while it might take others longer in some cases it may take up to two weeks to see results the effect of the glasses tend to become stronger the longer they are worn when wearing the glasses for the first time allow your eyes to comfortably adjust to the glasses for about 10 to 15 minutes look at this picture that Kiki put up you know what it is it's like I'm noticing I think because the contrast it's definition and lines and shapes that were completely missing yep the detail it's like I put it on and even your faces look crisper to me and I think it's because I can see color better and especially so if you're looking at faces part of the thing of glasses like this is if you're seeing more red that means you're going to be seeing the flush in skin tone better that's so interesting oh my gosh so this is something actually that I had to figure out when I started wearing makeup the first couple of times I put on blush what does that even look like I I think I was with my mom and she was like you need to rub some of that off when I apply blush now I can't see it I kind of just learned exactly how much to put on and I'm like okay I made my two swipes I'm done and if you can't see it that means it's probably fine right I wish there was a way I could see my eye makeup with this on so you gotta stop doing that because the reason you need to stop flipping the glasses is not because of a lens in your eye it's because your brain is now being asked to do somersault Dave Shorty in the chat room is talking about the the light that you're seeing so that the lenses are blocking blue light possibly and so you're seeing longer wavelengths and not such erratic ones so that's changing what you see but then your brain is also adapting to it so any of us but if any of us put on rose colored glasses right after a while you forget that you're wearing those glasses as your brain adapts and makes the kind of brownie weird grass look green again right yeah because your brain adjusts so this says oh during the initial adaptation period objects may become visually distracting always maintain awareness of your surroundings yeah so if you're wearing those sunglasses while you're driving yeah maybe don't wear them while driving yeah be cool I think you'll be okay ooh here's a pretty painting this is good to know in chroma glasses are not designed to pass color blindness screening tests so if you've got a job where you're not allowed to be colorblind I suppose you're not authorized by the maker of the glasses to cheat at the time yes the next thing says in chroma glasses are not certified for use in occupations requiring color recognition such as fields in public safety and or transportation the lenses are not shatter proof that's good to know do not use the safety glasses it doesn't say anything about UV blocking yeah it is outdoor so it probably is I think all sunglasses have to be yeah well there we have it that's amazing in chroma in chroma this is a pretty cool thing that you've created I was skeptical I was honestly to be very honest this is probably not going to work I was very skeptical I'm a little teary-eyed you're not I've seen all these videos of people crying when they see colors I need to go see everything I've ever seen again which I love this enthusiasm I know so you should also know that purple is my favorite color but I have a lot of trouble purple is my favorite color identifying differences between purple and blue which is hilarious because purple I know purple is my favorite color but then all the time I'll accidentally pick out things that are blue trying to pick out things that are purple so that's like its own weird psychological mess it's going to go straight from her closet and go through everything and reorganize it yeah but that's what I was looking at with these balloons which when I go outside I'm going to definitely have Brian blue the purple is so purple and the blue is not purple nope no the blue is not purple I think I'm guessing it's going to be much more dramatic outside but this is already very whoa oh you want to yeah I put that up for you yeah I have to go back to Paris turns out turns out all right pop quiz just verify that this whole thing works yeah I want you to turn around and name the colors on your bowling trophies orange pink gold orange orange red red red that's right very good now is that over here was that already well known to you did you memorize that from before did I give you a bad no I definitely knew those are red but I probably would have called these orange ones red also yeah this is really intense somebody's just taking a hose and it really does the way you're just looking around and everything but seriously it is looking at it looking at the world in a new way for the first time you know it's yeah I imagine I would be standing doing the same thing looking for new things to look at just dumb stuff like here like the dvd spines they're all different colors wow really intense and it seems to be growing because you did a pass on this room you did a visual pass over this room when you first put them on and like I really see a difference but there's definitely an adjustment period that's taking place and you know what else is really interesting I can totally see how in the chat room when people mention me you know their name is red so I know that I know that right but I can't really see it I have to like really strain to figure it out and I can know before I would have to like it would escape my notice all the time and now you've got it I can absolutely see it you should go back and take college again I know it's so interesting you're like I want to go take lectures where people use use those pens on the dry erase board it really I've never taken a hallucinogen but I would assume that this is kind of what it's like because like everything is popping so even just like behind Kiki's head right now the word twist is just like popping off of that orange background this is a very bright sign here in my world I mean I knew it was orange but like yeah it's just very it's just very distinct so the difference between this and the hallucinogenic the hallucinogenic might not necessarily be color balance based but you might be like oh wow oh wow I've never noticed that little bit of wood that goes along the base sports what is that there's a little bit of trim a little bit of wood between the carpet and the wall it's everywhere it's in every room it's like everywhere I've ever been there must be the ability to go to the moon and back a thousand times the amount of this baseboard trim that people have on it so it's making observations that weren't apparent maybe to you that you focus on but yeah I can see that correlation wow watch a movie I think hmm yes watch a movie oh man there's just stuff all over this apartment that I didn't know what color it was before hmm holy heck see it's confusing too because like I just looked at a painting and I was like oh the background on that is blue huh which I definitely didn't know before but the second I take these glasses off I'm gonna be convinced that I I always knew it was blue because I've always done this with myself I like incept myself into knowing what colors things are right hmm oh you know it's gonna be so different this the land I think the zoo might be this different too oh yeah the zoo and the birds brown animal and that's a brown animal and that's a brown animal and that's a brown they're gonna there's a lot of brown animals to be fair but they're gonna look different they're gonna look different I'm gonna see patterns oh my god how neat yeah things are distracting they they were absolutely right like I have a pink spray bottle that I use to water my succulents and it just keeps every time I turn my head over there it's like popping out at me okay oh my gosh well it's 1135 Blair's never gonna sleep again no I'm definitely gonna sleep but I do wonder if I'm gonna dream about colors right really dream hmm so can I ask you this really bizarre question yeah is there a color you haven't seen before like I mean obviously this is what we're talking about but is it is there a potentiality for something that's in this room that's popping out at you that you've seen if it was extremely brightly lit or is this is there something that's new that it strikes you as like I've not seen that before I think I'll have to tell you if I come across it okay that's a really hard question to be able to answer I think because I have I have the vocabulary right like I can look up a color on the internet and it shows me a swatch of that color and so in my brain I've seen that color right so what we're talking about though is an intensity level right right right which I would argue most of what I'm seeing right now I've never seen before yeah I can't wait to go outside this is gonna be great and you can't do it right now because it's night time it's okay I'm gonna have to go on a massive field trip on Sunday my gosh on your day off yes actually Saturday I'm going to a gem fair a gem fair with gems of various colors perfect well all these places are opportunities to wear your glasses and to take videos of them you can either send me the clips or do it yourself but just in iMovie or something to shump them together shump I've never shunked before but I could try alright it is late it is late alright here we go I'm pulling them off for the night you can keep those ones on we don't care about those ones anymore it's already been Justin you're so like fuzzy she'll never be able to live without the glasses anymore now that's just the horrible autofocus on my camera there's nothing to do with it no that's not what it was it does have terrible autofocus it's true wow yeah oh hot red says take a video through the glass for us to see that's a good idea we can see hold on let me get on you it's very it looks very pink that's not what it looks like for me I'll go like further up we have that I'll have to stare at it for 10 minutes it goes the other way what about like that it's the same kind of pink that's different yeah it is a little different isn't it maybe not as pink no it's still very pink you have an incredible amount of face makeup on shut up Justin oh my goodness I'm sure it's the camera the camera is trying to adjust to the light level doing weird things wow well there you go thanks Minions that was totally awesome thanks Enchroma yes Enchroma thank you very much for this opportunity for Blair yeah and we're looking forward to
