@Danpiker For me, the dot that I'm looking at doesn't change, but the remaining dots fade into the background.

Yes. Whichever dot I focus on turns purple.

This illusion was new to me. Does whichever dot you look at turn more purple?
Pretty neat how clearly this lets you see the reduced sensitivity to blue light in the very centre of your vision.
@Danpiker It also creates a blue trail when I scroll the image up and down. Neat!

@Danpiker - where to use?

Doesn't seem to 'work' for me. I have no colour blindness of which I'm aware!

a #ProTip for those playing along at home – if you have “night shift” (iOS) or “eye comfort” (Android) on you’ll probably need to turn it off to see the effect, otherwise all the dots will just look purple

@Danpiker what's fascinating about this is that, as someone with deuteranomaly, _none_ of the dots is obviously purple for me, on any background. they all seem "blue, but if you told me they're actually purple, I would believe you", which is just really common for me.
that must mean that the amount of short-wavelength sensitivity loss in the fixated area is not enough to offset the confusion (and overall lower information content) of overlapping long/medium wavelength response?

@Danpiker TIL (from someone who said "this doesn't really work") - this doesn't work if your phone has a blue-light-blocking filter on it!

@Danpiker
Nothing happens for me -
@Danpiker i don't see it
-
@Danpiker This is trippy as hell! I also feel like the border is more distinct when it's purple, but I can't really check because they all turn purple when I look at them! 🤯
@Danpiker OK, so now, looking at it on my phone, they're all purple! And the one I look at is only slightly darker purple. Wild stuff.

Didnt see it until I put my phone back a lil further from my face. Cool!

@Danpiker this is absolutely wild! It definitely works for me

@Danpiker minimally, but the dots hurt because at the boundaries there are flecks greyish-whitish visual noise

Using my laptop with no night mode or colour blocking, it doesn't work for me. Maybe some brains are wired differently.
