Re: [OM] Blue and Black or white and gold?

[C.H.Ling]

It is not small proportion, the ratio is 75% wrong and 25% right with 
statistics of hundred thousands of people.

It is not related to colour blindness, the percentage of colour blind 
peoples are much less than that.
The colours seem not marginal, the one who see white and gold is very firm 
about it and it is the same the other way round.
Correct the white balance is not the point, the question is why we see them 
differently even on the same monitor.
