    Made harder by brightness being perceived non - linearly. We can detect a change in brightness much easier in a dark area than a light- if the RGB value is 10%, and shifts to 15%, we’ll notice it. But if it’s 80% and shifts to 85%, we probably won’t.

      Reminds me of a video I watched where they tested human perception of 60/90/120 FPS. They had an all white screen and flashed a single frame of black at various frame rates, and participants would press a button if they saw the change. Then repeated for an all black screen and a single frame of white would flash.

      At 60 and 90 FPS, most participants saw the flash. At 120 FPS, they only saw the change going from black to white.
