Do you remember I used to take black and white colour photographs of squid jigs?
The reason is that I assume there is a difference among different squid jigs which are reflected on 'brightness, contrast level, shape or pattern' of appearance.
White is also seen as monochrome(black, white and shades of grey), but 'opaque white, fluorescent white, ...etc' will appear to be different 'levels of grey colour' on the squid jig. This is what I imagine to be the squid jigs in the squid eyes.
But up to this moment, we still do not understand whether squid is sensitive to colour pigments or (intensity)shades of grey colour reflected by the colour pigments of the squid jig. If anyone knows the answer, do tell me.......
We still talk about colour,....simple reason....easy to communicate....
What if we say,...say...grey1, grey2, grey3, grey4,..,...grey99...on monochrome colour....--->dull? unsuitable for marketing?
Do you think so?
