Surface color from boundaries: a new ‘watercolor’ illusion
A colored line flanking a darker border will appear to assimilate its color onto the enclosed white area over distances of up to 45 deg (the Watercolor Effect). This coloration is uniform and complete within 100 ms. We found that thin (6 arcmin), winding inducing lines with different contrasts to the ground are generally more effective than thick, straight, and equiluminant lines. Blue and red ...
متن کاملThe watercolor illusion and neon color spreading: a unified analysis of new cases and neural mechanisms.
Coloration and figural properties of neon color spreading and the watercolor illusion are studied using phenomenal and psychophysical observations. Coloration properties of both effects can be reduced to a common limiting condition, a nearby color transition called the two-dot limiting case, which clarifies their perceptual similarities and dissimilarities. The results are explained by the FACA...
متن کاملWatercolor illusion induced by synesthetic colors.
1 Introduction Synesthesia, which literally means a mixing of the senses, takes on various forms, but the most common is the experience of color when viewing achromatic alphanumeric characters (Day 2005; Rich and Mattingley 2002). Called`color-graphemic synesthesia', this condition has attracted great interest recently, in part because of its potential implications for understanding neural plas...
متن کاملDissociation of color and figure-ground effects in the watercolor illusion.
Two phenomena can be observed in the watercolor illusion: illusory color spreading and figure-ground organization. We performed experiments to determine whether the figure-ground effect is a consequence of the color illusion or due to an independent mechanism. Subjects were tested with displays consisting of six adjacent compartments--three that generated the illusion alternating with three tha...
متن کاملAsymmetric effects of luminance and chrominance in the watercolor illusion
When bounded by a line of sufficient contrast, the desaturated hue of a colored line will spread over an enclosed area, an effect known as the watercolor illusion. The contrast of the two lines can be in luminance, chromaticity, or a combination of both. The effect is most salient when the enclosing line has greater contrast with the background than the line that induces the spreading color. In...
