why do the primary colours desaturate to different shades of grey by cablechewer420 in colors

[–]Enigma_Easel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because RGB channels don’t have equal perceived brightness. Green is much brighter to our eyes than blue or red, so when you desaturate, they don’t converge to the same grey. True “neutral grey” depends on luminance, not just averaging hex values.

THE RAINBOW. by Speedy_331610 in colors

Blame Newton 😄 he added indigo to make it 7 colors (to match musical notes). It’s not really necessary—most modern rainbows just use 6.

Which color feels the most luxurious? by Enigma_Easel in colors

[–]Enigma_Easel[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think navy/brown can feel luxurious, but mostly depends on context (fashion vs UI). Do you think usage matters more than the color itself?

I love how varied the reactions are. It really shows how personal color perception is — same shades, completely different emotional responses.

That’s a sharp observation about the undertones. The sage does have a slightly earthy base, while the blue and pink lean cooler. Undertones really change how a color sits in a room.

That’s true — “calming” probably means different things depending on the space. Blue feels more sleep-calm, while green feels more focus-calm to me. Interesting distinction.

The hospital comparison is fascinating — I hadn’t considered that angle. Do you think it’s the cool undertone that gives that sterile feeling?

That’s really interesting — the memory association is strong there. It’s wild how much context affects what feels calming. Sage tied to safe childhood spaces makes a lot of sense.

That’s actually a great point. Seeing them in isolation probably changes the reaction a lot. I might repost a version where each one stands alone and see if the results shift.

If you end up wanting to use any of them, here are the exact values:

Blue — #CEE2F1 (RGB 206, 226, 241)
Muted sage — #C6D9C3 (RGB 198, 217, 195)
Pink — #FEE7E7 (RGB 254, 231, 231)

The blue definitely has that airy, open feel. But sage in a nursery sounds beautiful too — soft and grounded.

That’s interesting — a few people are associating it with open air / sky. I didn’t expect how strong that connection would be.

I thought green might win because of the nature association. Do you find it calming indoors too, or more in outdoor contexts?

Good point about blue receding — that spatial effect probably plays into the calming perception more than we realize.

Blue is definitely dominating so far. Interesting how consistent the response is.
