Ok, I have to bring this up, it's been bugging me for awhile.
The colors in question here in particular are 635 and 594.
Apparently, I see colors of lasers differently than everyone here, but people I show my lasers to generally seem to think along the same lines as me as to the colors of my lasers.
To my eyes, 594 is unquestionably yellow, and 635 is a dark, very reddish orange, but still orange. I'm beginning to think the reason they look like this to me is because I like to use and look at my lasers with the lights on. I've noticed that when the lights are out, my 635 looks orangy red, and the 594 looks very orangy, like amber.
Could the reason I see the colors on these wavelenghts differently than everyone else, and the reason I consider them to be different colors, is because I prefer to use photopic vision, where most people here look at them in the dark, thereby using scotopic vision? Because I've noticed that the colors look like how everyone says when it's dark, ie 635= bright red, 594= amber; but since I prefer to look at them in the light, could that be why I see things different than most of you?
It's been bothering me for awhile, and perspective is the only reason I could come up with why these lasers' colors look different to me and some other people than they do to the rest of you....
Thoughts?
