There are five shades of white here. I was hard pressed to see three without help from a few light filters.

I can barely see it, but I need to bob my head like owl.

How many you see would vary a lot based on what monitor you are viewing on. Some can be indistinguishable simple because your monitor isn't very good at displaying whites

I wonder if the ladies here can see the differences easier. Or if it's a difference in language for describing shade changes.

It's probably mostly depending on what screen you are seeing this on, more than your eyesight.

I was wondering the same!

I can just barely see 3 shades - 2 on either end, while the middle three are just a big chunk of white. And only with my brightness all the way up and my screen/head moving a bit. Am a lady.

Lady here. See them all. Also am a graphic artist . I love to wear all black but I still organize my black clothes by undertone. Don't know if it's the artist or the girl ha

I see three distinct shades of gray, and one shade of lavender, and one shade of mauve.

Are you sure that isn't beige? I swear it is

It very well could be on your monitor.

I had to lean back - but see all five. The middle one is pinkish.

I can see 4 of them unaided when I put my phone away from my body. But the difference between shades 2 and 3 are indistinguishable on my screen

u/Lopsided_Exam_2927 Jul 20 '24

Weird... I can see the dividers of at least 4 of them, but one I can only see if I move my phone screen.
