As a theatre lighting designer and set designer I shall repeat to pete and peter that 'Light isn't the same as paint'.

[coboarasus]

These two are the definition of “echo chamber”, one is saying something the other one is repeating 😂

When they got to the banana bit it started to feel like a comedy sketch

[wallyman]

Ok. . . when P & P got to the whole "banana's are yellow, but they're not moving" part in their vid, I couldnt' help but think they've GOT to be trolling their audience!

[strokeme]

I can't help but think the Peter and Pete channel is satirical. I mean, nobody can be this delusional, right?

[nitramreniar]

I'd be very interested to see, how Peter&Pete would explain white light being split into colors through a glass prism, if they don't belive that white light is made up of other colors...

[RelakS__]

Technology Connection told that RGB white is different from sunlight white, but at least he had a point. Because the missing frequencies in RGB lamps, objects, what reflect only very specific wavelengths, can look weird.

[RM_VFX]

Another thing to note about led light is that an led of a certain color, ONLY EMITS THAT PURE COLOR. An OLED display is not filtering a white backlight like an LCD screen does. So their "washed out" argument falls apart as soon as any direct view LED screen is used.

[MotoGoato]

P&P aren't just confused about how light works .... pretty much everything in reality confuses them ... their 'in our opinion' videos are comedy gold 🤣

[iandobbin]

Thank God Pete and Peter haven't tackled green bananas turning yellow over time. Obviously it's because they are curved and not flat.
Great video 👍 (except for the outro)

[CreepyPastafanGF]

Remember, Peter and Pete think clouds are made of salt

[tpresto]

So if I shine three blue lights in this same way, do I get white light (according to Peter and Pete's logic) where the three blues merge together due to the triple blue intensity? I'm going to say no, and I'll just get blue light.

[DemiImp]

9:15 - Actually, yellow surfaces COULD be reflecting red and green and absorbing yellow wavelengths. Most of the time this doesn't happen, but you would never know unless you used a prism to split the light to see what bands the surface is reflecting.

This is why lightbulb CRI matters. Because light bulbs can emit a non-continuous or uneven spectrum which might be okay for some types of materials but not others. I once used florescent light bulbs that made some green clothes look unnaturally vivid. If I brought it to sunlight, it looked very muted green.

[RegebroRepairs]

I can not believe that Pete and Peter is anything else than a parody of 70's kids TV.

[theeffete]

It's so cute how Peter & Pete finish each other's sentences. What a charming married couple they make.

[AllanSavolainen]

White light only consumes more power on OLED displays, LCD displays have backlight that always creates the same amount of white light which is then blocked by the LCD so same amount of power is used no matter what is being displayed (assuming SDR display, HDR varies the amount of backlight, and there is tiny amount of energy used to twist the LCD crystals, so technically there is small difference in power used depending on the image displayed)

I'm going to go buy a Nikon P1000 and zoom in on a banana to see if I can resolve the tiny spinning red and green disks. 😂

[alfredklek]

I've always believed that the fact that these bananas aren't moving is the real problem.

[Joe-]

I am thoroughly convinced that they are putting us on... but I always love a good science breakdown, Thanks for the color theory lesson Dave 👍

[petergaskin]

FFS don't tell Peter and Pete about the good old days with film cameras when we had to use colour temperature meters and 81 type filters for colour correction.
