    oh for sure they can distinguish different intensities

    in art we have 3 nifty ways to describe a colour

    • hue (difference between green and yellow)

    • value (difference between black and white)

    • saturation (difference between grey and neon red)

    even a fully monocromatic person can distinguish the value of what they see, and with some colours they can also tell them apart just by that alone (yellow tends to be lighter in value, blue tends to be darker in value)

    but here the question is (or at least how i understand it) does the hue of the colour affect us in a universal way? and therefore could someone unable to properly interpret the hue be a good control group?
