gollark: Dave has been dealt with.
gollark: I saw that yesterday and SIMILARLY complained that it's not well-defined.
gollark: So if you have an object with the left half in shadow or something, even though a camera sees each side as having *wildly* different colors, you'll just think "oh, that's yellow" or something like that.

gollark: Besides that, you don't perceive colors that way.
