I think what we actually need is someone to take a picture of their screen with a microscope while the image is zoomed out.
Based on some comments I’ve seen, it seems likely this is just an artifact of how the red/green/blue pixel layouts work when drawing the edges of white things.
Edit: I don’t have something to check the actual display pixels, but I realized I could just rotate the image and see if the colors change, which they don’t. So this definitely seems like more of a white balance effect, similar to that old Gold/Blue Dress meme.
You can’t use a color picker see color fringing due to subpixel rendering. (There’s tons of info about this for font rendering). Your display doesn’t map pixels 1-to-1 in most cases.
But like I said in my edit, I’m fairly sure that part is irrelevant here.
The blue/gold dress was not related to screenshotting and compression. People were arguing about the color even when looking at the exact same image. It all depends on which color temperature the dress was lit with. Noone can know for sure, and your brain just picks one (maybe depending on the room you’re in).
It’s the same sort of deal as those rotating optical illusions. It’s possible to see it both ways, but your brain usually picks one and it’s hard to switch.
This is a screenshot of it zoomed in…
You tell me if the white looks warm

Our minds are filling in red because of the cyan
Here’s another example
Top comment explains it. It’s because of the cyan that it looks red. It’s the complementary primary color

I wasn’t saying everyone was looking at the same image. I’m saying the optical illusion still works when using a single image.

You disputed that right here:
Why would you bring this up if not because of my comment?
