Don’t believe your eyes – this hat tries to fool you.
The Tiktokerin “oteliacarmen” posts an inconspicuous video of the headgear on her channel.
At first, the cotton hat appears brown in the light of the living room.
But when the woman is on her way to another room, a green film can be seen on the surface.
In the light of your bathroom, the bobble hat has now completely changed color.
In the comment column, thousands of users suspiciously wonder whether it is a fake.
However, there is a plausible explanation for the color change.
From a physical point of view, color is created when our optic nerves are stimulated by light waves.
An apple is not naturally red, but molecules on its surface reflect the light,
so that certain visual cones behind the eye are stimulated, which humans perceive as red.
Depending on the light intensity, light can react differently with the molecules of an object.
The condition that things take on a new color with different light sources is called “metamerism”.
Rusty shades, like that of the hat, are predestined to change color when the light is different.
Is this hat green or brown? The answer is simple: both.
