"Age-Related Changes in Color Perception: Insights from Brain Studies"

A study led by UCL researchers found that healthy older adults perceive colors differently compared to younger individuals, with older people's pupils constricting less in response to color chroma, particularly for green and magenta hues. The findings challenge the belief that color perception remains constant throughout life and suggest age-related shifts in color preferences. This decline in color sensitivity with age may have implications for understanding aging and dementia, as well as for adapting fashion, décor, and other color spaces for older individuals.
