who else thinks the titanium is green?

[Slim to None]

Perhaps she was referring to the cost (looks green like money) and not the actual color

Money isn't green where Zyhano's from

That said, it's definitely grey and definitely not green.

Ok, so I started a little research to see what's up.

turns out:
genetically some people are more inclined to see one of the color components in the RGB (red green blue) colorspace more dominantly.

to further clarify: a pure gray tint has equal components of Red Green and Blue light (white is full RGB, black is no RGB, gray is all in between where R == G == B

theoretically, pure grey will probably be processed as pure grey, but could be r= 143, g =149, b = 143 (all values from 0-255, see the difference in green?)

also, from wikipedia:
Color constancy
Main article: Color constancy
There is an interesting phenomenon which occurs when an artist uses a limited color palette: the brain/eye tends to compensate by seeing any grey or neutral color as the color which is missing from the color wheel. E.g., in a limited palette consisting of red, yellow, black and white, a mixture of yellow and black will appear as a variety of green, a mixture of red and black will appear as a variety of purple, and pure grey will appear bluish.


My conclusion: if you have enough brains, you could see different colors :thumbup:

If your Chris Reeve blade will not unlock for more than 4 hours and the Handle turns Green , get medical attention immediately.

It tinted mine blue.

 

[T.K.C.]

'Tis grey.

 

[lathrop]

color is light, no two people see it the same.

I also think it's Gray.

For those who agree, is it Light, Medium or Dark Gray?

I must be carrying the Mood Ring Chris Umnumzaan , it changes shades of Gray from one day to the next.

(Esav if you read this, replace the Gray with Grey. )

I think it depends on the light - sometimes mine look gray while at other times they'll appear grey.

Kinda funny...if I go look at my Sebenza, yes, it's grey. If I think about the knife without looking at it, I think of a greenish hue. I would say I perceive a greenish hue.

 

[zyhano]

There is something to the gray-green nexus. I have a gray Chevy Suburban, and last weekend my dad thought it had a greenish hue. I think there is something hidden deep in our brains that makes the two colors overlap just a little. I don't get it, but I don't get most things either.

Lol, me too

The titanium I've played with is a gray base. Oils, lighting, dirt, etc... will alter the colors of it. It polishes up to a niiiice silvery gray though. I've had a few of my chainmaille pieces look a very very dull green or blue though. So, don't worry, you're not crazy.

thanks for the reassurance :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing your experience what colors do you see normally? Do you notice anything different after years of use? Let me know!

I take that as a green

That's exactly what I mean.


On the whole I have to say, that I 'learned' in the past few days to see it more like grey. But there's still some green in my system

 

[Sammax]

Looks greenish to me.

But I asked my wife and a co-worker today and both say no green.

 

[bobusx]

When I was in my car today, my plain Classic looked greenish. Inside, with clean flourescent lighting, I don't see even a hint of green. Definately affected by the type of lighting.
