Research at the University of Chicago suggests, for the first time, that human perception of color is malleable, and that we rely on the biological processes of the eye and the brain.
“Color is in the brain. It is constructed, just as the meanings of words are constructed. Without the neural processes of the brain, we wouldn’t be able to understand colors of objects any more than we could understand words of a language we hear but don’t know,” says Steven Shevell, a psychologist who specializes on color and vision.
