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

Experts suggest that wearing red or green during the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 can enhance the experience due to the way our eyes perceive colors in low light. As the eclipse darkens the surroundings, warm colors like red and orange may appear less vibrant, while green will pop and look brighter. This phenomenon, known as the Purkinje effect, can turn the eclipse experience into a real-life science demonstration on clothing. Therefore, wearing red or green instead of neutrals like black, white, gray, or brown can not only enhance the eclipse experience but also make eclipse photos more vivid against the dark backdrop.
