We can't keep the crowd waiting, can we?

This is all dumb and all, but the dumbest thing is people using hex codes. Hex codes aren't an exact measure of light reflection, just the output colour of light bouncing of an object that absorbs a set amount and reflects the rest. The light bouncing of that object is going to be a certain colour itself, and if it bounces off in different ways it could change what sort of light you see at the end and all that poo poo. On top of all the craziness of how light works, your brain also has a bunch of short-cuts and weird ways of dealing with processing visuals. White isn't even a colour, it's just a combination of loads of different colours, which wasn't even an accepted theory until a couple hundred years ago, along with blind spots, which we missed because your brain just straight up makes up poo poo and convinces you it's real.


The centre peg that appears blue on the left, but yellow on the right, is actually the same colour.

You're not arguing what you think you are. The whole point of using the hex codes is because people have actually been arguing that the actual pixels in the image are white and gold and that everyone that sees blue and black are seeing the colors that way because of an overall tint in the picture. What you posted is literally the counterargument to that statement - an image where you see one color two different ways because of a tint, and the easiest way to see the correct color is to isolate it from the rest of the image...or to check its hex value in Photoshop. This is almost as dumb as the image where the guy concluded it must be white and gold because of a comparison of color temperature corrections that were both for outdoor lighting.
