- Grey? Blue? Purple? It can look different, depending on the context. Let's talk about color perception, color temperature, and the history of laundry.

Tom literally has a cartoon character wardrobe of endless rows of the exact same gray hoodie, red T-shirt and pants.

The hoodie is absolutely unique, expect for the several others which are all identical
Having met Tom, I can confirm that his hoodie is indeed grey, and also he's taller than you think.

Fun fact: it also works with paper. The regular printing paper is slightly blue to appear "extra white". That's why when you're buying paper to make your own book, it's better to buy cream paper (slightly orange), or pearl paper (slightly grey) as it appears more natural for a book than bright white/slightly blue.

I think a good way to experience this, is by sitting inside a (probably children') tent, with a neon colour - such that on the inside, everything has a hue of that colour. Sit inside for half an hour or so and you'll feel how that colour is kind of missing when you step outside - as if it's greyed out - but your brain quickly re-adjusts.
However, if you've additionally had the horrid experience of being really sick inside one and had to stay inside for an entire day, your brain gets really confused when you step outside. It's a really weird experience - but you become extremely self-aware of how your brain interprets colours. I'd compare it to when you've been inside a cooled car for hours, only to step out into high heat - that weird minute or two where your body re-adjusts: It's like that, but with the brain.
(This experience was also my inspiration to become a web designer)
I find your experience so interesting, tempted give it ago
you dont even need a tent, on a sunny day when you lay in the sunlight with your eyes closed (best near noon when the sun is the brightest) the light shining through your eyelids makes you see red, when you open them after a while everything kinda looks grey green blue-ish
"I'm not sure that's helpful" is paint names in a nutshell
Nutshell sounds like it could be a paint name.
My brother painted his annex "muddy puddle" a few year ago. Was kind of a mocha brown like chocolate powder. Wasn't bad actually with enough lighting.
I'm color blind, so I just painted my shop "I'm not sure that that's helpful"
I have this colour picker program on my computer that will tell me the colour of anything on the screen. It's supposed to help with my colourblindness but it always gives me "amethyst sky" type names
My favourite painy name is toke. It's a really really really pale grey.
"Hey that's a nice grey hoodie you got there."
"Ah, no, you see, it's actually AMETHYST SKY."
Good to know you still use this acount

Reminds me when I painted my bedroom in Angel Dust White.. Which honestly should be a drug not a colour.
Nice one to add to my usuals - military gray and ocean gray.

"If I am filming under a blank, gray sky, it can make the shot look a little dull."
Tom, you live in Britain.
I work for a company that dyes yarn. I also do product photography for our website.
This exact issue is something I struggle with every day. I will edit the photos and then check them on multiple screens that have each been calibrated differently before publishing any of the photos to our website.
While this is not exactly the best way of doing it, and it is not necessarily the most color accurate method, I've found that if I get the colors looking good enough across multiple screens, customers will not be upset with the color accuracy of our website.
Of course we also have a disclaimer on our website, that says that the final product may differ from what they see on screen due to not only the differences in screens but in the differences in dye lots.
Thank you for your job! Years ago, I bought a t-shirt which looked light grey in the website and I went "I'd like that"
Turns out, it was a Powder Blue t-shirt. So I have a t-shirt whose colour does not suit me one bit.
Finally, I can complete my Tom cosplay with a color-accurate hoodie

@@MayaByard CZcams doesn't have the information to where I'm from, and it says color.
As far as I know from my training as a laboratory paint assistant and chemical coatings engineer the companys are adding a bit of blue dyes because the most common white pigment Titandioxide (TiO2) absorbs slightly light in the blue wavelength region. Therefore the neat TiO2 looks very slightly yellow. Adding a blue dye copensates this effect and for us it appears more "white". (:
I do this when I paint!

Fun fact: modern detergents commonly use fluorescent particles that emit blue light instead of dye, so when they're advertising as "make your clothes whiter than white" they are actually doing that. They are adding more light than you would receive instead!
This is a very fun fact!
Wait what? Wouldn't this make the clothes give off a faint glow in a dark room?
@@thejedimaster32 the fluorescent particles only emit blue light when they can absorb UV light. The day light spectra contains a tiny amount of UV, whereas in a dark room there is no UV light for them to glow blue. But that's why in a club or disco with UV fluorescents, your white clothes look purple/bueish.
Oh, you said "detergents", that makes so much more sense

"Laundry bluing" is still a thing here in many households in Ghana, including mine. Wash your singlets with the blue dye, and they'll look brand new.
I don't use blue dye in my wash, but I often throw in some of the blue wash in with the white, here in the united states. I never really thought about it much, it was just one of those things I learned from my mum.
I was watching a historical documentary on life in 1800's England and they were bluing their whites back then too. (show is called Victorian Farm on Amazon Prime and is fantastic btw)
Similar product is also sold in Thailand. School uniforms of over 99.5% schools in Thailand feature white tops (blouses/shirts), and this dye is really helpful, along with some good bleach, of course.
Yea this is especially a thing with paper. Notably it's not an actual 'bluing' agent but rather a chemical that absorbs UV light and re-emits it as visible blue light
We have it in India as well
As a person who does a lot of white balance and temperature balance adjusting (along with all the other joys of colour grading and image editing) in my profession, it's great to see another person (and bonus that person being Tom Scott), who prefers the colder/blue look.

I learn more from your videos than I have in grad school
That hoodie isn't just grey, it's heather grey, which means that depending on the precision of the colour sensor you're using, the heather pattern might get a different result from different positions on the fabric. That might be why you got "amethyst sky". Another millimetre over, and you might get something very different.
Now I want to see this tested 20 times to verify the range of colors...
I see that grey more commonly called "grey marle" but yes. The yarn it's woven from is variegated (not one solid colour) so there really isn't one definite answer, only an average.
Thatâs not due to the color, thatâs the manner in which the fabric is constructed.
That's actually what I thought this video was gonna be about. Cause it's not just one shade of gray, it's many different shades depending on exactly which thread you're focusing on.
@@ennisskalski719 youâre right itâs a marle, which is comprised of two colours (more is a melange, or thatâs how my of job defined them) that are woven or knitted to give a soft streaky effect. Heathered yarn is less subtle and more âspottyâ, looking more like TV static.
"Amethyst Sky" vs Gray Hoodie
It's kind of like when you're trying to draw digitally and the color picker's little preview square doesn't look quite right but you put it on the drawing and it suddenly makes sense
Colour theory is a heck of a thing. When I finally got my head round it I felt like my brain had been rewired. I canât help but look at colours in sets, as palettes, etc anymore. But itâs great for picking RGB light combos, and knowing why some clothes never coordinated even though they were âboth purpleâ.
No Tom Scott! Amethyst Sky is not the colour of the hoodie. It is a Good Match for you hoodie. Meaning, If you wanted to make your hoodies into a sofa you should paint your walls Amethyst Sky to make your room look most stylish.
I tried to color pick a flamingo once, and let me tell ya, none of the colors on a flamingo look like the color of a flamingo
Except that it doesnât make sense. Thatâs clearly not the color of the hoodie. Besides, the hoodie is not one solid color, but a pattern made up of several colors.
Tom brought out that spare hoodie at the end just to show us that he really does owns more than one hoodie
Like how the colo/ur/r swaps/changes between the two/twin spelling.

Imagine asking someone an icebreaker like: What's your favourite colour? And them replying with 'Amethyst Sky'

When I was a little kid, I learned my colors off of the crayons, but nobody told me which ones were normal color names and which ones were special crayon color names. So there was me, two years old, telling everyone my favorite color was "wisteria."
Better than answering "Flesh Charm". (Still a real paint color, even if it's not made with real Dutch boys.)

The part about looking dirty is probably why Lego discontinued their original grey colors and replaced them with bluish-grey.
Interesting observation.
@CofferZ you* spelt suck wrong
@CofferZ incorrect grammar but ok
I sincerely recommend the Captain Disillusion CD Color (Colour) video immediately after watching this
Best conclusion
While laundry bluing might not exist anymore, detergent companies add optical brighteners to their products. They absorb UV and emit blue to achieve the same illusion of 'cleaner' clothes.
Came here to say this. Same with white paper. It becomes really obvious with an UV flashlight.
Titanium oxide?
Go and put some TiO in your washing machine, see what happens
makeup for your clothes
It does. No idea how common it is to use anymore but I've seen it in stores every so often (and a quick look shows amazon sells it).
As a kid, I discovered that all my white clothes were ever so slightly blue. I assumed that was because white was just a shade of blue and no other color could be brightened to pure white. Now I know what was really going on.

Tom and the Amazing Technicolor Hoodie
I like how you kept switching the word color with colour
I have a feeling that thanks to the slight stonewash patterning on that hoodie he'd get a different paint name every time.
Having used such a system in the past, (work term at a paint tinting manufacturer): Yep, we hated it when someone asked if we could find the mix to match fabric because we would have to make up half a dozen sample jars to see which scan was actually accurate. That was for fabric with a 'flat' colour, never mind something with any kind of patterning, (which would probably be worse than asking the software to figure out the mix for a purpleÂč or greenÂČ).
1: Which would invariably be wrong.
2: For which it would insist on the no-no of using both blue and yellow pigments. You always use a green pigment and one of yellow or blue to avoid very noticeable colour changes as the yellow fades.
That's what I was thinking too. It works in a similar way to the colour picker in Photoshop etc and marled clothing is always made up of multiple shades. The device clearly has incredible magnification but that doesn't help when each section is a different shade. If it were solely grey like a spun shirt rather than a mix of shades creating a grey from a distance then it would obviously show as grey when scanned.
