What color is a tennis ball? Ask your classmates, and they might give you some ___（1）___ answers.
The Atlantic asked 30, 000 people this question. Among the people surveyed, 52 percent said tennis balls are green, 42 percent said yellow, and 6 percent said ___（2）___ else.
According to the International Tennis Federation, tennis balls ___（3）___ yellow. So, why do most people say that they’re green?
When we ___（4）___ see an object in natural light, our brains recognize its true color. Even if the object ___（5）___ in different kinds of light later, our brains can still tell its true color. ___（6）___ call this color constancy (色彩恒常性). For example, we know that China’s flag is red.

However, the color of a tennis ball is not as pure (纯的) as the flag. It appears to be a mixture of yellow, a “warm” color, and green, a “cool” color.

It is not just tennis balls that make such confusion. In 2015, a girl ___（9）___ a picture of a dress online. Some people said the dress was black and blue ___（10）___ other people said it was gold and white. They had different opinions based on whether they ignored cool or warm colors.
