Document Summary
The different color dots blend in because they are small. The size of the dots matter, so how close or far away you are matters (optimal distance) luminance is homogeneous the receptive cell is larger in the are (where the sky is) and that"s why is looks blue. Most people see a bluish circle in the middle- You perceive a border when none is present. Usually most salient when the colors share luminance. Illusionary conjunction- when binding two physical objects into one. All dots on any given are close to the same luminance. The borders that define objects are illiosinary borders. When will colors blend? (asking a question about this) The form system (the what system)- defines the borders. Whether or not color blend seems to depend on whether they can be perceived as belonging to the same surface. When the luminance is the same - the system assumes a similar surface. When it differs- the system assumes different surface.
