What is it about?
This is a test concerning Hume's famous missing shade of blue. Under-graduate students were provided with a spectrum of black and white with 2 out of 216 missing shades and given a process by which they could attempt to simulate the missing shades to see if they could discover the missing shades without seeing them.

Why is it important?
The matter seems to be an empirical question and yet no one had seemingly tried to test the matter empirically.
Perspectives
I was glad to finally get a chance to run a test and thanks to some very clever and technical/computer minded students was able to accomplish all of this without a budget.
