But there’s one rule that goes beyond tradition and into the field of scientific study of the brain: Black garments are slimming. It all comes down to how your visual system processes the light. The below holes in each square are the same in size, yet the white hole looks bigger than the black hole. In the 1500s, Galileo Galilei noticed that some of the planets looked larger when viewed with the naked eye (肉眼) than they did when viewed through a telescope, making the white light of Venus (金星) appear eight to ten times larger than Jupiter (木星) in the night sky. He knew something strange must be going on with his vision to cause this illusion, but he wasn’t sure what it was. Luckily, scientists never stopped wondering, and in 2014, they figured it out. Our visual system operates via two main channels: “on” neurons (神经元) that are sensitive to light things and “off” neurons that are sensitive to dark things. When it came to the dark “off” neurons, the researchers found that they responded predictably to dark shapes on a light background — the greater the contrast between the two, the more active these neurons were. But the light “on” neurons behaved unpredictably. Even with the same amount of contrast, light objects on a dark background caused a greater response in these neurons. This makes some sense, evolutionarily speaking. In the dark of night, you’d want to be able to take in every bit of light you can get, so a visual system that enlarges light objects on a dark background could be very useful. However, it’s not that hard to see dark objects in the light of day. It has some effects in the colors of your clothes and in the appearance of the planets — the brighter appea
