You will need:
- A dimly lit room
- Blindfold
- 10-15 volunteers (of which 5 have brown eyes, 5 have greenish eyes and if possible 5 have bluish eyes)
- Various coloured sheets of chart, marble paper/ construction paper
- Tape
- Pen and paper
We all are born with different eye colours. Does difference in eye colour affect the way people perceive colours? Find out by conducting an experiment.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Take 1 foot squares of various coloured sheets of chart/construction
paper/marble paper. - Tape them back to back on a wall in a
dimly lit room. - Blindfold your volunteers and taking them one at a time, make them enter the dimly lit room and stand facing the wall on which the construction paper is taped.
- Make them stand as far away as possible from that wall.
- Remove their blindfolds and tell them to name the colours taped on the wall, in a quick succession from left to right.
- Note down their answers. Wait for 2 minutes and ask them to repeat the colours once again they see on the wall, from left to right.
RESULT
While the correlation between eye colour and perception of colour is an ongoing study, a lot of research shows that differences in the colours of eyes actually result in variations in the way people perceive colours. Moreover, eye colour also creates a difference in visual acuity and sports performance.
