What causes this?

[Dominato3r]

Can anyone explain to me what causes this group of characters:

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

to show up as RGB?

Im not sure if you can see it here, so ill cross reference: ( on the first post, and multiple replies after)

WTF!

Ok that's pretty wild.

Straight on close up it's black. Sitting back at an angle it goes BGR.

It only happens on my LCD and not my phone......

I see black characters even if I sit back, cross my eyes, squint ect. So I couldn't tell you.

Drugs... or possibly aliens getting through the tinfoil.

<--- OT there

Use a magnifier or fresnel and examine your monitor once. White light is conglomeration of discrete colors. Viewing a CD data surface acts as a diffraction grating (reflective) and shows this well.

Color "leakage" can also be witnessed with clear type and certain fonts as well.

Synesthesia?

Looks completely normal to me here and on the WoW thread.

 

[Dumac]

Looks normal to me in this thread and the WoW thread as well (on an LCD)

 

[Insomniator]

I see it very lightly. Cool!

Turn off ClearType. It's Windows attempt at smoothing jaggies on LCDs taking into account red green and blue pixel subpixel separation. Mostly it adds artifacts like what you are seeing, especially if it isn't set properly.

 

[Snapster]

BGR, freaky!

 

[Colt45]

Shows up normal here.

 

[allisolm]

Why, to those who see it in color, does it show up as different colors to different people?

OP sees RGB, Paratus sees BGR, I see GRB.

 

[dandruff]

BGR

Different settings in cleartype and probably monitor brands?

Weird. I do see the colors.

 

[skace]

Guess I have cleartype on, I can see BGR (G looking the most black)

I see the colors with clear type off or on.
