I mean, the color displayed at the very top, for instance is "gold." Because that's how black looks in bright yellow, overexposed light. So when you see that it's dark "gold" and that everything else is overexposed, you make the natural adjustment and realize "in reality, this is black." Of course, nothing is "true black" in reality; but it's as black as anything else you call black.

The blue ... this one truly makes no sense to me, it's blue both in actual palette and in light-adjusted reality, even the photo alterations that try to "whiten" it still typically leave it a little blue.
This is the best summary I've seen. I can totally understand that the black doesn't look black. It kind of looks like dark brown. But what drugs do you have to be on to see light blue as being white?
