"How Wearing Red or Green Can Enhance Your 2024 Solar Eclipse Experience"

The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 will only be visible along a narrow path on Earth, and experts suggest that wearing red or green can enhance the viewing experience due to the Purkinje effect, which changes color perception in low light. As the eclipse enters the intermediate phase, warm colors like red and orange will appear less vibrant, while green will pop and look brighter against the dimming surroundings. This phenomenon will turn the eclipse experience into a real-life science demonstration on clothing, making red and green the recommended colors to wear for those lucky enough to be in the path of totality.
