For me at least its not that. I play with maxed out settings and have a Acer Predator X45.
There are a ton of factors though that influence a persons ability to differentiate hues of the same color.
- Women have a higher density of cones in their retinas, which enhance their ability to discriminate between colors, especially in the red-orange range.
- Men may have a higher density of M cones (medium-wavelength cones), which are more sensitive to greens.
- Hormonal differences between men and women might also play a role in color perception. Estrogen, for example, can influence the processing of visual information in the brain.
- As people age, the lens of the eye can yellow, leading to changes in color perception, especially for blues and greens. In addition older people tend to see less surface colors.
- The colors surrounding an object can affect how its color is perceived due to contrast effects and color constancy mechanisms in the brain.
- A diet lacking essential nutrients (such as vitamin A) can affect color vision.
- Eye strain and fatigue can impact the ability to distinguish colors accurately.
- Mood can also influence color perception, with some studies suggesting that stress or distraction may alter how colors are perceived. Stress can lead to decreased cognitive function, which might make it harder to notice subtle differences in colors
There are some fights so bad I started to wonder if the fight designer is a tetrachromat (meaning they have 4 cones and can see 99 million more colors than the average human being.)
I know on Nymue I had to turn on one of the color blind options in order to see the orbs. Even than I had problems. Which is odd as the last time I took a test I was able to distinguish more color variations than the average male.
The problem for me is there is no counter play to this. I can’t get better at seeing the differences so I simply fail the fight. And its such a simple fix, all it would take is changing the colors to more contrasting colors so everyone can see the mechanics.
